Note

Storage: Store leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use as separation may occur.

Substitutions: For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce. You can substitute apple jelly or apricot preserves if orange marmalade is unavailable, though the flavor will differ slightly.

Variations: Add a teaspoon of sesame oil for a nuttier flavor profile, or mix in chopped cilantro for a fresher herbaceous note.

Tip: If the dressing is too thick, add a teaspoon of water or lime juice to thin it to your desired consistency.
