    How to store Greek Salad Dressing

    If you won't be using this greek vinaigrette right away, store it in a glass container with a lid in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks! I have this salad dressing bottle and use it all the time.

    I appreciate that it is large enough to hold a batch of dressing, has a secure lid, and that the shape of the bottle (tall and skinny) fits nicely in the door of my refrigerator! However you can store it in a mason jar or another container if you wish!
