Notes
-
- Don't skip the chill time. Cover and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes. This resting time lets the flavors meld together, making the dressing more cohesive and bringing out the tanginess of the vinegar and mustard.
-
- Freshly shredded Gruyère will give you the best texture and flavor, as pre-shredded cheese can sometimes have added starches that affect the texture. Plus, Gruyère’s nutty richness really shines when freshly shredded!
- The diced green olives pack a lot of flavor, so make sure they’re cut small to blend seamlessly into the salad. This way, you’ll get a little olive flavor in each bite without overwhelming the dish.
