My go-to secret ingredient for homemade dressings

I might be a bit behind the curve, but I’ve recently discovered that adding just a pinch of xanthan gum to my homemade dressings—especially oil-based ones—makes a world of difference. It really helps to emulsify the oil and water components, and gives the dressing a slight thickness that clings beautifully to the greens. Goodbye, puddles at the bottom of the bowl! It’s truly been a game changer!

    That sounds like a fantastic tip! Xanthan gum really is a powerhouse when it comes to emulsifying and thickening. I love how it can elevate homemade dressings without altering the flavor. Plus, the fact that it helps avoid that dreaded puddle at the bottom is a huge win! Have you tried it with different types of dressings, like citrus-based ones? I’m curious if it works just as well across the board! Thanks for sharing your secret ingredient!
