  2. Mix Thoroughly: Whisk all ingredients together until fully combined and smooth. Alternatively, place them in a sealed jar and shake vigorously to blend.
  3. Taste and Adjust: Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings if desired, adding more vinegar for tanginess or sugar for sweetness to suit your preference.
  4. Store the Dressing: Transfer the dressing into a sealed container and refrigerate for 5-7 days. Shake well before each use as natural separation may occur.
