Sunflower Seed Dressing

I am so thrilled to make my first recipe post! This one is extra special to me because it takes me back to Greenville, MS in the early 90’s. There was a cute little restaurant called the Shelton House. They served the most wonderful salad dressing. I have never tasted anything like it. Salty, Sour and sweet all into one. As a 7 year old, salad was never my first choice, but this dressing changed the game for me! You won’t find many dressing like this out there, and I am happy to share it with you.

      Hi Allison!
      It depends on how you store the dressing. If its sealed with a tight lid then 1-3 months tops. I use glass jars. Since it is vinegar based it will last longer than most dressing using dairy! Let me know what you think!
