Chef Jenn’s Tips
- For a thinner consistency, add a tablespoon or two of water or extra olive oil.
- To make it into a creamy dressing, blend in ½ cup mayo and add water or lime juice to reach your desired thickness.
- Remember to discard any leftover marinade if it has come into contact with raw meat or seafood to avoid contamination.
