How many times have you trashed an old mustard jar because it was too awkward to get the last bit out with a knife? Not only do you face the pain of food waste, but you have to spend time washing out the jar so that you can recycle it properly. But both of these issues can be avoided by using that last little bit to make a delicious dressing instead. So many applications for condiments need you to get them out of the jar first.
But when it comes to marinades or dressings, the jar becomes a tool. Simply add the ingredients for your marinade or vinaigrette to the jar, screw the lid on, and start shaking. The force of the liquid inside will mix up all the ingredients better than a whisk could, and it will clean the inside of the jar of any clumps of condiment too.
What to add to your condiment jars Marinades and dressings can be as complicated as you want to make them, but this hack makes mixing them super speedy. If you want a quick and easy marinade from the last of your mustard just get some soy sauce or balsamic vinegar, crushed garlic, salt, pepper, and some herbs or spices. Add them all to the jar, give it a really good shake, and pour it all over some chicken.
Pop it in the fridge, then just kick back and grill it when you're ready. If you're looking to spice up some salad, then dressings are just as easy. You can add some white wine vinegar and some herbs to a jar of mayonnaise for a creamy dressing.
Or you can just toss some red wine vinegar, olive oil, and some seasoni.
