I made this yesterday and since I love spicy, I increased the cayenne by a lot and I used 1 tsp. Of the herbs and I absolutely love this. It is so dam good. Try a dollop of it on the bean salad. Out of this world.
Nice idea on the bean salad!! Way to crank up the spice! Love it! 🙌
It is hard not to just eat this stuff by the spoonful--it is that good! I am imagining it on a big salad with fried chicken tenders; however, I just finished using the dressing as a dip with cucumber slices--so, so good and so easy to make since it uses dried herbs.
