Notes

  1. COOKS NOTES:
    Oven Temps:     Oven temperatures are for conventional, if using fan-forced (convection), reduce the temperature by 20˚C.
    Measurements: We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon = 5 ml, 1 tablespoon = 20 ml & 1 cup =  250 ml.
    Herbs: All herbs are fresh (unless specified) and cups are lightly packed.
    Vegetables: All vegetables are medium size and peeled, unless specified.
    Eggs: We use extra-large size and eggs are 55-60 g each, unless specified.
  2. White balsamic substitute
    Apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar can be used instead.
  3. Adjust sweetness
    Start with the listed honey amount, then adjust to taste if you prefer a sweeter dressing.
  4. Soy sauce tip
    Soy sauce adds savoury balance and depth. For gluten-free, use tamari. Taste before adding any salt, you may not need it.
  5. Storage
    The dressing may thicken in the fridge due to the olive oil. Let it sit at room temp for a few minutes and shake well before using.
