Test Kitchen tips
  • For the best results, start with all the ingredients at room temperature. If the oil is cool or cold, it is much more difficult to form the emulsion.
  • To get the most flavor out of these simple ingredients, mix up the vinaigrette and let it sit at room temperature for 1 to 3 hours before serving. Refrigerate any leftovers; bring cold vinaigrette to room temperature before shaking to combine.
  • To toast nuts, bake in a shallow pan in a 350° oven for 5 to 10 minutes or cook in a skillet over low heat until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
