A tiny jot of mayonnaise will do it. Less than half a teaspoon. If you make a small batch and eat it all right away, you may not need it.
h=Here's my basic recipe:
Two parts oil of your choice. Corn, canola, olive. I like Smart Balance with omega 3.
One part of something astringent. Lemon juice, lime juice, juice from a garden tomato, some kind of vinegar. You might want to dilute the vinegar.
Some black pepper.
An herb. I like tarragon with lime juice. Basil with lemon juice.
Put everything in a medium-sized bowl and whisk till the mayo disappears.
=============
I'm asking myself how pineapple juice, orange juice or pureed strawberries would do as an astringent ingredient.
For our small family, I find that 1/4 cup oil plus 2 T of juice makes a useful small batch of salad dressing.
