Master the Classic 3:1 Ratio
Elevate the ordinary to extraordinary with a homemade vinaigrette that dances on your palate. The secret to transforming your salads and appetizers lies in the harmonious fusion of quality extra virgin olive oil and vinegar. The quest for that perfect balance begins with a classic ratio of 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar. The real challenge, however, lies in the science of creating a seamless blend, as oil and water are famous for their reluctance to mix. Here’s where the magic of emulsifiers comes into play!Harness the Power of Emulsifiers
Emulsifiers are the unsung heroes of your vinaigrette mix. They play matchmaker, persuading oil and vinegar molecules to set aside their differences and unite to form a well-blended vinaigrette. Mustard, mayonnaise, egg yolk, and honey all make excellent emulsifiers. But if you ask us, nothing compares to the layered richness of sautéed shallots paired with a hint of honey mustard. The shallots lend a subtle depth, while the mustard works diligently to unify the ingredients.Unlock Gourmet Boomer’s Selection
