Chef's Notes

• Any neutral oil will work, but never olive oil
• Best made with an electric mixer or blender on medium speed, though it can be done by hand.
• For the onion juice, grate a large white onion on a fine grater or blend it, then strain.
• To prevent graininess, heat vinegar and sugar together until sugar dissolves, then cool before mixing.
• If the dressing separates, pour off the clear liquid and re-emulsify by beating again, slowly adding the mixture back in.
