A Heaping Scoop: Sugar Substitute
In a Nutshell:

Pesto-mayo dressing

My go-to non-vinegar salad dressing is a pesto-mayo dressing. Mix 14 cup mayonnaise with 3 frozen cubes garlic, 3 frozen cubes basil, and 1 tbsp of lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then add a squirt of yellow mustard. It can be thinned with a drop of water.

However, when freezing an already frozen and defrosted product, quality suffers. There are some exceptions — for example, if an item was vacuum-packed — but in general, it’s better to cook it and then refreeze.
