Notes
Salad Dressing Notes
- If you're using coconut milk, bring it to room temp before you whisk it together to avoid it clumping.
- If you're storing the finished salad dressing in the refrigerator for later, you can gently warm it in the microwave for 5 seconds at a time, before drizzling over the salad.
- Feel free to substitute other protein sources, like hard boiled eggs, grilled chicken, or shrimp. They'll all be delicious!!
