For the Nutrition Facts, a serving is one tablespoon.

For a thinner dressing, add a little more water.

If you want a more tangy dressing, try adding additional lemon juice or some apple cider vinegar. You can also add additional herbs such as ½ teaspoon of dried dill.

Store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to a week in a glass container.
