What each ingredient does
- Whipped cream
- Provides the body and airy, creamy texture that gives the dressing its structure.
- Lemon juice (in the method)
- Adds acidity that brightens the flavour and cuts the richness of the cream.
- Sugar (in the method)
- Adds sweetness that balances the tartness of the lemon juice.
The step that matters
Adding the lemon juice lightly. Acid thins whipped cream and can cause it to deflate or weep if it is stirred in vigorously. Adding it gently and mixing only until combined keeps the airy, whipped structure intact.
