Notes
Achieving a well-emulsified dressing is key; whisk vigorously or use a jar to shake well until thoroughly combined, especially right before serving. The quality of your MCT oil and coconut vinegar will significantly impact the final flavor profile – opt for reputable brands. Fish sauce provides a savory umami depth, but adjust to taste if you're sensitive to its strong flavor. Always taste and adjust seasoning (salt, pepper, stevia) to suit your preference, as stevia glycerite can vary in potency. This dressing is not only excellent for salads but also makes a fantastic light marinade for grilled vegetables or lean proteins like chicken or fish. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week.
