Note
Storage: Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Stir well before each use as separation may occur.
Substitutions: If Madras curry is too hot for your preference, substitute with a milder curry powder or reduce the amount slightly. Plain Greek yogurt can be used for a thicker, higher-protein texture.
Tip: For a fresher flavor, add a squeeze of lime juice or a tablespoon of chopped fresh cilantro just before serving.
Serving Suggestion: This dressing pairs excellently with cucumber salads, chickpea salads, or as a dip for raw vegetables like carrots and bell peppers.
