- Vinaigrette dressing like this one commonly separate when stored in the refrigerator. To keep it together longer, feel free to place in a blender on low speed for 30 seconds to a minute.

- If using a fresh garlic clove, try grating it into the other ingredients with a microplane for a really smooth dressing.
