How much time do you have?
Stir in
No cooking. Spoon from a jar you've already made, or open a package. Under a minute.
About 10 minutes
One small pan or a blender, plus a cutting board. Make it that day, or within 3 days.
Weekend batch
Make a larger amount once, when you have time. Spice blends and pickles keep for weeks. Preserved lemon needs 3 to 4 weeks before it's ready.
Tip: batch on a weekend, then stir in all week. Open any dressing below to see how to make it and how long it keeps.
