Notes

** This Thai Salad Dressing recipe makes a little less than2 cups of dressing. Serving size is 2 tablespoons per person.
Storage
Pour the Thai salad dressing in a mason jar or other glass container with a tight fighting lid and store in the refrigerator for up to a week. If the dressing thickens in the fridge, let it sit out for a few minutes on the counter and then give it a couple of shakes before using it. You can also use extra coconut milk or water to thin the dressing until you get the desired consistency.
