I own the same micro plane. I saw Martha Stewart grate lemons with that plane holding it in reverse. Plane on top: lemon on the bottom. This way you can see the zest as it accumulates in the plane and judge the amount better perhaps.

[@michelevanessen1539]

Going to try this one for sure. Very creative ingredients! My giant chives are already abundant so here we go! 🍋🥬

[@alwkw3783]

Longtime fan here. I hope you are supporting your worker's right to unionize, ATK.

[@woodg2660]

Only 138 comments? WOW, this is THE BEST salad dressing I have ever had. Knowing exactly what is in it too, very simple yet checks all my taste buds. From here you can experiment with other ingredients, but I bet we'll all come back to this one over and over. Thank you Julia!

[@lourdesgonzalez-luciano2753]

From Aguada, Puerto Rico, I was so happy to see you. I used to watch you in the America Test Kitchen and always loved the way you explained things. Good luck....,and bless you.

In addition to being a wonderful dressing for salad try brushing a little of the dressing on salmon before grilling and then again before serving. A match made in heaven.

[@nancyhorwitz5400]

Looks delicious! Looking forward to trying it. Impressed with how it stays emulsified!

[@susanvp4685]

Love different kinds of homemade dressings…trying this one for sure!🇨🇦❤️

[@SerenitySharesStuff]

Although I love ATK, it appears that there is no more behind the scenes staff. Laid off I presume. But you need interaction of the talent. You added new faces and dumped Becky, Erin, ELL and the others. No more Dan? I hope that you rethink this change. Glad there is no audience. It was a waste of time. Julia needs Bridget and Bridget needs Julia. Just saying.

We'll we got a free recipe but this is actually an advertisement for OXO products. I would buy the shaker but it's $38. bucks. Ridiculous. And the salad spinner is absolute crap.

[@MitchDussault]

You don't need mayo if you don't want it or don't want animal products. Dijon mustard by itself works as a perfectly acceptable emulsifier that maintains homogeneity for several days in the fridge.

Oh boy I’m not doing well with this recipe. I don’t eat olive oil they’re highly processed and unhealthy. The only thing I could think to use would be avocado and olive oil. Canola and corn oil isn’t healthy.

pro tip: microplane facing up so you don't need to keep checking for white

You are suppose to use the tool on top of the citrus not the citrus on top of the tool, by doing so you can better see where you have been and the zezt collects in the tool. I am just saying.

That dressing sounds so tasty and I'm willing to take her word for it on the added molasses.

[@spikefivefivefive]

I think I'll settle for Worcestershire sauce.

[@iahorvath]

Yummy classic French vinegrette. I’ve used maple syrup instead molasses..also very good. I found that you don’t really need mayo to emulsify the vinegrette. Stirring or shaking the ingredients vigorously, once the oil is added in, does the same.

[@sandraleigh4023]

That's what I was going to do because I don't keep molasses in the house. Glad to hear it works!!

[@agnescleary2312]

This is a great tasting dressing but, as usual, ATK overcomplicates it. Put everything (minus the garlic)in to a jar/bowl, whatever you're using, then either shake it up really well or use an immersion blender or regular blender to mix it up. Says emulsified, guaranteed.

ATK - the company - has take-home fridges for all the food prepared during their recipe development, plus excess food ingredients available for staff use. Any food that is not suitable for the take-home fridge (eg. trashed food from equipment testing) is composted. Do you know the current state (or lack thereof) of composting and recycling where JCD - the individual - lives? Regardless, the word "garbage" can be a general term for discards (skins, peels etc.) not going in the recipe. Christie used the term "garbage bowl" in a recently uploaded video that was shot in the test kitchen where they do compost. Settle down.

How do you wash the lemons without destroying the oils on the skin?

There's products (Trader Joe's has one) as well as online recipes for vegetable and fruit washes. Generally recommended if not using organic. Most citrus is coated in a thin food-grade wax to preserve it. But nobody needs to eat that.

What washing does, does very little to the oil
