Notes

  • Use a small blender if you prefer an ultra creamy dressing.
  • The dressing is good in the fridge for 7-10 days. It does not freeze well.
  • If you don't have anchovy paste or fillets, you can sub with Fish sauce - start with 1/2 a teaspoon and add more if needed to get that Umami flavor.
