# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You can whip it up in less time than it takes to toast bread.
  • The balance of sweet honey and sharp vinegar makes even simple greens taste gourmet.
02 -
  • If the dressing solidifies in the fridge, let it sit on the counter for ten minutes and shake it hard.
  • Tasting the dressing on a leaf of lettuce rather than a spoon gives you the truest sense of the flavor.
03 -
  • Use a jar with a tight lid to shake the dressing instead of whisking for easy cleanup.
  • Let the dressing sit for ten minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
