Notes
- Store: Dressing doesn't turn brown if kept refrigerated in a glass airtight container for up 5 days. Stir before use.
- Cilantro stems make dressing more bitter, so I recommend using only the leaves.
- Avocado ranch: Substitute 1/4 cup olive oil with yogurt.
- Cumin or a heat kick: Add a pinch of cumin or red pepper flakes, to spice things up.
