The recipe
Olivia Wilde listened to the Internet and decided to satisfy everyone’s curiosity.
Late Tuesday, Wilde posted a photo on her Instagram Stories, giving people the answer they were looking for.
The photo appeared to be a page from “Heartburn,” Nora Ephron’s 1983 autobiographical novel.
In the lower part of the photo, the passage gave instructions on the salad that Ephron was preparing.
“Mix 2 tablespoons Grey Poupon mustard with 2 tablespoons good red wine vinegar,” the page reads.
“Then whisking constantly with a fork, slowly add 6 tablespoons olive oil, until the vinaigrette is thick and creamy,”
“This makes a very strong vinaigrette that’s perfect for salad greens like arugula and watercress and endive.”
With the salad dressing recipe finally released to the world, people will see what the hype was all about.
