This flavorful homemade salad dressing should keep well in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks if stored in an airtight container and kept chilled when not being used. It's a great dressing to drizzle over a tossed garden salad of mixed greens with fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, and olives. It also helps to dress up plain steamed vegetables or plain Asian noodle dishes, for added flavor and punch.
