# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It takes less time than brushing your teeth and tastes like something from a fancy restaurant.
- The sweet tang plays nicely with almost anything: greens, roasted carrots, even a boring turkey sandwich.
02 -
- If your vinaigrette separates after sitting, just shake or stir it again because that is completely normal and not a sign you did anything wrong.
- For a vegan version, swap the honey for maple syrup and you will barely notice the difference.
03 -
- Add a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice right at the end for a brightness that wakes everything up beautifully.
- Let the minced garlic sit for five minutes after chopping before adding it, which mellows the raw bite just enough.
