01 -

- It keeps in the fridge for a week so you can double batch and actually use it up
02 -
- The oil will solidify in the fridge so let it sit out for ten minutes before serving
- Room temperature ingredients emulsify better than cold ones straight from the fridge
03 -
- Make this in a mason jar and shake it instead of whisking for easy cleanup
- Double the recipe because it disappears faster than you expect
