  Chef’s Note: The wonderful thing about homemade dressing is that they taste so dang good, plus they don’t have all those added chemicals. The down side, it that they won’t last as long as bottled dressings. This dressing should last 5 – 7 days, if placed in a tightly-covered, non-reactive jar. So, make about a week’s worth at a time.
