This is the traditional Martha’s Vineyard Salad Dressing, originally from Charlie’s Crab on St. Armands in Florida. I asked for the recipe years ago, when the restaurant was still called Charlie’s Crab. I modified it a bit for home cooking from the restaurant proportions I was given, but I have retained all of the ingredients to keep the tradition and make this version the best!

Does this need to be refridgerated
Hi Beth,
Strictly speaking you, do not have to refrigerate this dressing as none of the ingredients require refrigeration. I suggest that you do whichever would make you more comfortable, you won’t be wrong either way.
