- Choose High-Quality Ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your dressing will be. Use a good quality olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard.
- Emulsify the Dressing: This means whisking the dressing until it is smooth and creamy. You can also use a blender or food processor to emulsify the dressing.
