We do recommend letting it to chill for at least an hour to allow the spices to blend together with the mayo and sour cream.

Storing Dressing

Place your Mexican zesty dressing in an airtight container in the fridge. You dressing will store for 4-5 days in the fridge. You will want to stir between each use, as it can separate a little bit once you have it sit for a bit.
