Note

Storage: Store the dressing in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The oil may solidify when cold; simply let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes and shake well before using.

Substitutions: You can substitute avocado oil with olive oil or grapeseed oil. For a vegan version, use agave nectar or maple syrup instead of honey.

Tips: For a smoother texture, blend the dressing in a blender or food processor instead of whisking by hand. Ensure the leeks are washed thoroughly to remove any dirt trapped in the layers.
