Ingredients:
- Avocado oil- 2 tsp
- Olive oil- 2 tsp
- Balsamic vinegar- 1.5 tsp

Instructions:
Step One:
Gather all the ingredients you will need for the dressing. This may include things like oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, salt, pepper, and any herbs or spices you want to include. Measure out the appropriate amount of each ingredient according to your recipe or personal preference.
Step Two:
Place the ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid or in a blender. If using a blender, you may need to add a little extra liquid, such as water or broth, to help the ingredients blend together smoothly.
Step Three:
Close the jar or blender and shake or blend the ingredients until they are well combined and the dressing has a smooth, uniform consistency. If you’re using a jar, you may need to shake it for a minute or longer to fully mix the ingredients.
Step Four:
Chill the dressing in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld and intensify. This step is optional, but it can help enhance the flavor of the dressing.
Step Five:
Prepare your vegetable salad by washing and chopping the vegetables and placing them in a large bowl. Pour the chilled dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat the vegetables evenly. Serve the salad immediately, or refrigerate it until you’re ready to eat. Enjoy!

You can store the leftover dip in an air-tight container. Keep the jar in the fridge. It will be fresh around the next 5 to 7 days maximum. Before serving, shake the jar. Never mix any warm liquid.
