Why a Mixture of Oils?
The use of a combination of oils in this dressing brings depth and complexity to its flavor profile. Each oil contributes its unique characteristics, resulting in a well-balanced dressing that tantalizes the taste buds.
Olive Oil: Renowned for its rich flavor and health benefits, olive oil lends a distinct Mediterranean touch to the dressing. Its fruity and slightly peppery notes add depth to the overall taste.
Salad Oil: Often a blend of neutral oils like soybean, canola, or sunflower oil, salad oil serves as a mild base that allows the other flavors to shine. Its light texture helps create a smooth and velvety dressing.
By combining these oils, the dressing achieves a harmonious balance of flavors and textures, elevating even the simplest of salads to culinary delight.
