Shelf-stable dressing compositions that are readily sprayable are provided herein. The shelf-stable dressings are generally comprised of oil, water, a thickening agent, an acidic component, and an emulsifier in amounts effective to provide a stable emulsion with microbial stability. The shelf-stable dressing compositions provided herein are advantageously characterized by a sprayable viscosity that allows the emulsified dressings to be evenly dispersed via a spray nozzle. |
