4

Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil until the sauce is well combined but still slightly separated.

Let the sauce sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
6

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature before serving.
