Paul certainly knows when to crash a brunch – right before it’s being served! He stumbles onto this homemade fare at the house while Marissa is in New York, and finds a way to win over Marissa’s housemates. This dressing has a fresh, clean flavor and tastes great as a dressing on salads or as a dip or sandwich spread.
