Chef's pro tip
Blend the dressing just until smooth, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Avoid over-blending, as it will make the texture unappetizing. And don't worry if it seems a little thin at first β it will thicken overnight in the fridge.

Very tasty! Not sure how I'll like it on a salad, but it seems thick enough to use as a sauce on vegetables (instead of cheese sauce) and I'm going to use it atop my scrambled eggs, too. It also tastes great on crackers like a dip.
