🥗 Salad Dressing Workshop

Discover the Art of Bright, Beautiful, Farm-Fresh Flavour

Join us at The Truffle Farm for a hands-on, joy-filled workshop where you’ll learn how to create salad dressings that are vibrant, balanced, and deeply satisfying. This is a playful, confidence-building class designed for home cooks, food lovers, and anyone who wants to elevate everyday meals with fresh, seasonal flavour.

🌿 What You’ll Learn

During this workshop, you’ll explore:

  • The five elements of a perfect dressing—acid, fat, sweetness, salt, and aromatics
  • How to build a classic vinaigrette using simple, reliable ratios
  • Emulsification techniques that create silky, stable dressings
  • Creative flavour layering with herbs, citrus, infused oils, and seasonal ingredients
  • Creamy dressings like ranch, tahini, and yogurt-based blends
  • Pairing dressings with greens, roasted vegetables, grains, and farm-fresh produce
  • How to bottle, store, and customize your creations at home

🍋 What to Expect

You’ll mix, whisk, shake, taste, and adjust—learning to trust your palate and play with flavour. Each guest leaves with:

  • A take-home jar of their own signature dressing
  • A recipe booklet
  • The confidence to create dressings that feel bright, balanced, and uniquely yours

🌾 The Setting

Held at our cozy Truffle Farm , this workshop blends learning with laughter, good company, and the simple pleasure of making something delicious with your own hands. It’s a beautiful way to spend an afternoon surrounded by nature, community, and creativity.
