Chef's notes
This will make about 1 1/2 cups of dressing.
This preps super well (just store everything separately in the fridge!), but it won’t keep well once it’s tossed with dressing, so be sure to toss together only the amount that you’ll eat.
Garnish salads with lemon wedges and throw some capers on there if you’re bold.
