I've made this twice so far, and both times tasted awesome and bright. Good recipe.
However, the second time it solidified in the fridge. I added more oil and vinegar in 3:1 and soon it up. Still tasty. And solidified again in the fridge. This time I added more oil and vinegar, then dug the chunks out. It was basically gelatinous goop.
The only difference I can think of was that the second time I used a more expensive finely shredded parmesan cheese. I think using the cheaper grated cheese on a can might be better. I'll be making a fresh batch tomorrow, regardless. I'll probably split it in half, and omit the cheese completely on one half. Hopefully we'll be back to awesome soon.

Hi Mitch, olive oil may solidify in the fridge so what I do is that I leave it at room temperature for 15-20 minutes and then shake before serving. That usually does the trick! 😊

Thanks Martina, I found that in my research as well. I put a teaspoon of plain oil the fridge to test, it did not solidify.
I'll be making a fresh batch tonight, sans cheese. If it doesn't solidify then I'll have an answer. If it does, then I'll have to assume it's the oil.

I think it depends on the temperature in your fridge but at about 7-8 C olive oil starts to solidify, at least partially. I notice that on my pesto sauce which I always top up with olive oil. Let's see how the test goes!

Sorry it took so long to get back to you!
You were right! It must be the oil, as it still solidified without cheese. So the mystery is solved.
Thanks for the help.

No problem at all, I've been busy too - look at my response time 😊 Thank you so much for getting back to me!

Can I use white wine vinegar? I don't have red.

Absolutely!

I used balsamic vinegar and a packet of stevia and it was yummy!
