Storage tips

Store the Italian dressing in an airtight container for three weeks in the fridge. The dressing will separate and solidify, give it a few shakes and then continue using. You might need to let the dressing sit on the counter for a few minutes to liquefy before using. Or I'll run the jar under warm water and then shake the dressing.
