Tips & Tricks (5)

Emulsification Magic 🥄
Whisk the ingredients vigorously or use a blender to create a smooth, well-integrated dressing that prevents separation and ensures a consistent flavor in every bite.
Citrus Zest Boost 🍊
Grate a small amount of orange or lemon zest into the dressing to intensify the citrus notes and add an extra layer of aromatic complexity.
Honey Temperature Trick 🍯
Warm the honey slightly before mixing to help it blend more easily and distribute evenly throughout the dressing, preventing clumping.
Olive Oil Quality Matters 🫒
Use extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor profile, as its robust taste will significantly enhance the overall taste of the dressing.
Storage Optimization 🧊
Store the dressing in an airtight glass jar and shake well before each use to re-emulsify the ingredients and maintain optimal flavor and consistency.
