Creamy dressings can add such a comforting and appetizing texture to salads.
You just need one tool.
But turns out, I was onto something.

I still use this hack to this day.
It’s so easy, why wouldn’t I!
Animmersion blenderis like a turbo-charged version of shaking a bottle of dressing.
Both techniques are trying to accomplish the same thing: emulsification.
But using a powerful immersion blender is a much more efficient way of achieving that uniform, velvety consistency.
If it does separate, it’s easy to stick the blender back in and recombine the mixture.
And If you happen to have an immersion blender with a detachable base, clean-up is a breeze.
And you don’t need an immersion blender the size of a kindergartener to make your dressings creamy.
Any size will work, and smaller sizes may be better suited for home cooking.
Try this technique the next time you’reprepping a salad.
It will likely become a permanent part of your tool kit.
