Tips to Keep it Fresh

When stored properly, this dressing can last nearly two weeks. Here’s how:

1. Make sure it’s kept in an airtight container. You can store it in an airtight jar as pictured, but I prefer it in a squeeze bottle. 
2. Use fresh cilantro. Either store bought, or fresh from your garden. Do not use dried cilantro!
3. This is a Cilantro Cashew Dressing, but removing the cilantro is an option. This dressing it inspired by Sweetgreen’s Spicy Cashew Dressing, so removing the cilantro will essentially taste like that. Feel free to add in a touch of chipotle powder to make it more interesting.
