  • Blend with an immersion blender until the dressing is smooth and lightly emulsified.
  • Taste and adjust if desired. Add a little extra sugar for a sweeter dressing.
  • Use immediately or transfer to a glass jar for storage.

Notes

Amber's Notes:

  • Fresh lime juice provides a brighter flavour than bottled juice and is worth using when available.
  • Blend thoroughly to create a smooth emulsion that coats salad greens evenly.
  • Olive oil naturally solidifies when refrigerated. Allow the dressing to come to room temperature and shake well before serving.
