Adım adım rehber
Measure a small starting batch
Add one tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to the bowl. This is a starting ratio, not a rule for every ingredient or preference.
Add optional seasoning
Whisk in a small amount of mustard if you want it, then add a little salt and pepper. Use ingredients suitable for the people who will eat it.
Whisk in the oil
Add the three tablespoons of oil gradually while whisking. The mixture should become more combined, though it may separate again on standing.
Taste with the food
Dip a small piece of the food you plan to dress. Add a little more oil if it is too sharp or a little more acid if it tastes flat, mixing between adjustments.
Dress just before serving
Use only enough to coat the food lightly and toss gently. If keeping any dressing, use an appropriate covered container and follow ingredient storage guidance.
İpuçları ve sorun giderme
- Shake or whisk again if the dressing separates.
- Adjust in small amounts so one correction does not overwhelm the batch.
