Fold in the finely chopped parsley, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix gently to distribute the herbs and seasoning throughout the dressing.

Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Stir or shake the dressing before serving. Drizzle it over salads, use it as a veggie dip, or enjoy it as a light topping for roasted meats.
