      Never am I happier than when the granola jar is fu Never am I happier than when the granola jar is full.

      About this time of year last year, I discovered a About this time of year last year, I discovered a very tasty salad dressing made with cashews, fish sauce, honey, a ton of vinegar and a heap of crushed red pepper flakes.⁣ ⁣ It was an @mollybaz recipe and it was/is addictive. Most recently I’ve been subbing in tahini for the cashews, maple syrup for the honey, omitting the fish sauce, and I find it equally delicious.⁣ ⁣ I make it in giant batches and use it to clean out the fridge of various leftovers 👍🏽👍🏽 It keeps for weeks.
