Notes
The longer this dressing sits, the more flavor it gets! While this Vinaigrette with blue cheese might last longer, you won't want to use it past 3-4 days.
Use sparingly. You can always add more, but you can have too much of this dressing.
Also, don't serve on date night. :)
I noted this makes 8 servings but it probably could stretch even more.
*Nutritional values are slightly off as it doesn't know how to calculate the extra teaspoons of the apple cider vinegar or oil.
