Grated Olive Is The Unanticipated Ingredient For Richer Salad Dressing
BY MATTHEW SPINA
Homemade dressings are already far superior to store-bought versions, but if your dressing needs a little extra oomph, try reaching for a jar of olives.
Along with adding a briny depth to your dressing, their texture will add a pleasant level of creaminess, thickening the dressing and helping it cling to your salad.
While olives make a great addition to Italian or Greek vinaigrette and Caesar and ranch dressing, they're not ideal for sweeter dressings which can clash with the olives' brine.
