Notes
How to store: Since homemade dressings lack preservatives, they are better for you but don't last as long as store-bought. Store southwest dressing an airtight container or mason jar in the refrigerator for up one week.
How to change the consistency: Blender dressings tend to be more thin than hand mixed dressings, which is why we reserve some of the yogurt to stir in later to add in thickness. You can also just stir the ingredients together instead of using a blender. Just be sure to finely chop the cilantro. If you prefer a thinner dressing, just add a little water to the dressing.
