\ud83c\udf6f The dressing I make more than any other<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This one was supposed to be a supporting act. I built it for my crunchy sugar snap pea salad<\/a> and it walked off with the whole show. Dijon, honey, lemon, good olive oil, whisked until it turns pale and thick. No mayonnaise anywhere in it, which surprises people who grew up on the bottled stuff. There’s a jar of it in my fridge most weeks and it never lasts to Sunday.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf3f Dried oregano is the part nobody sees coming<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Honey and Dijon is a settled argument. Everyone makes some version of it, and most of them taste like each other.<\/p>\n

The oregano was a last-second decision. I wanted something Mediterranean in there and I wasn’t going to send anyone to the store for it, so I reached for the jar of dried oregano that has been in my pantry, and yours, since forever. It’s the one ingredient that turns this from a generic honey mustard dressing into mine. Dried, not fresh, on purpose: dried oregano is concentrated and slightly dusty in a way that suits an oil-based dressing much better than the leafy freshness of the fresh stuff. The garlic matters too, but only if you grate it on a Microplane instead of chopping it. Grated, it disappears into the oil and lands on every leaf.<\/p>\n

\ud83e\udd57 Salad is where it starts, not where it ends<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Kale, arugula, shaved cabbage, romaine that can take a heavy coat. Then keep going: warm roasted carrots, grilled asparagus straight off the grate, a bowl of barley and beets, a potato salad that could use waking up. Because it’s built on olive oil rather than mayonnaise, it also works as a marinade, which mayo-based dressings simply can’t do. Thirty minutes on chicken thighs before they hit the grill is all it takes. It thins with a splash of warm water and sharpens with more lemon, so you can bend it toward whatever you’re putting it on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
