Kitchen-testing note: A documented cooking test is pending. Timings in the method are estimates; finished yield and results have not been confirmed in our current testing log. Nutrition figures and unsupported historical rating totals have been removed.
Before you cook
The former raw-flour thickener has been removed. Flour is not ready to eat and does not belong in this uncooked dressing. Use commercially prepared mayonnaise or a preparation made with pasteurized eggs. Allow at least thirty minutes in the refrigerator before serving.
See the FDA guidance on handling raw flour.
Choosing gluten-free ingredients
Check the exact products you buy, especially flour, oats, bread, pasta, sauces and broth. Gluten-free labeling and third-party certification are different. A recipe page or scanner cannot guarantee a dish’s preparation. Use clean equipment and protect ingredients from contact with gluten-containing foods. Gluten-free does not mean free of dairy, eggs, nuts or other allergens. See the FDA guide to gluten-free labels.

Food handling and leftovers
Use a food thermometer and the safe cooking temperature chart. Refrigerate perishable food within two hours, or one hour above 90°F, in shallow containers as appropriate. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below. Use refrigerated cooked leftovers within 3–4 days; reheat cooked leftovers to 165°F. These are general handling limits, not a tested texture or shelf-life claim for this recipe. See USDA leftover guidance.
