Summary

After being inspired by our 70/30 lean-to-fat ratio in our recent burger episode, and a desire not to turn on the stove in the summer heat, Dave makes a 30/70 ratio for a great vinaigrette and a lovely salad. Dave makes a few versions of vinaigrettes, explains how to pick your lettuces for a salad, the science behind emulsification, and a vinaigrette hack. He also uses a surprise teaching tool that he came up with while playing with his sons. Dave and Chris finish with a competition for some DCS listeners to win a prize!
