Notes

Double recipe if feeding a crowd or want dressing to last for the week. Will keep well in the fridge for several days. The olive oil will to solidify in the fridge, you can set it on the counter to get it back to room temp or stir well to loosen thickness. There is no effect to the quality or taste of olive oil in the solidifying process. 
Can use with any lettuce!
