I prefer making my own sauces whenever possible:
Many store bought sauces and dressings are filled with preservatives and ingredients I can’t even prononce. By making my own, I know exactly what ingredients I am using. I know life is busy and we can’t always make our own dressings which is why I live by everything in moderation and do my best to eat clean whenever I can. If you make this dressing ahead of time, store in an airtight container or mason jar and keep in refrigerator all week long. It takes more time and a little preparation and planning, but my body thanks me for it!
