Notes
*Keep phyllo covered with slightly damp paper towels to avoid drying out until needed. If not using within 2 weeks, wrap unused portion of dough well with plastic wrap and store in freezer. *The nutrition facts reflect the sodium level for a typical vinaigrette dressing found at supermarkets. If you make your own vinaigrette, the sodium level would be much lower and you can add your own mixture of herbs and seasoning to create variations.
