How to store this salad dressing:
You can store the salad dressing in a glass dressing bottle or just use a mason jar. You probably already have several in your cabinet.
If not, you can order one of these pint size mason jars and keep it in the fridge. I like this set because it comes with different sizes and labels.
This is perfect so that you can label the dressing and if you plan to make anything else. The smaller size is perfect to pop into meals you might be taking to others. We love to take a meal to new moms or someone recovering from surgery.
Mason jars are so versatile and easy to use. They are inexpensive and I love that they keep spills at bay.
We are all the time using a mason jar for something. They are just so handy!

I have also used maple syrup instead of honey because that was all I had. The salad dressing still turned out fabulous!
By shopping when things are on sale I save money on groceries and it really helps our budget. I actually cut our grocery bill by 50% off by following these 8 Tips for for Saving Money on Groceries by Menu Planning!
