Notes

*It might take a little longer for the dressing to fully emulsify if using a food processor or blender. Be patient, make sure to start with room temperature ingredients and it will all come together. 
**To easily get eggs to room temperature place in a bowl of warm water for 1-2 minutes.
***Pasteurized eggs are heat treated to kill harmful bacteria that cause foodborne illness without cooking the eggs. Another way to minimize risk while being budget friendly is to pasteurize eggs at home. I typically buy good quality organic free range eggs and have not splurged for pasteurized eggs since my youngest son was born. It's a matter of personal preference so do what feels right for your family! See full notes above under Using Pasteurized Eggs.
