It’s hard to think of a time when a salad dressing has been as dramatic as Olivia Wilde’s “special” vinaigrette. But according to a former nanny, the Don’t Worry Darling director’s signature dish featuring the dressing and delivering it to pop star Harry Styles was particularly painful to Wilde’s ex-husband Jason Sudeikis. One text message from Sudeikis to the nanny read, “Took her salad, and dressing and left them.”

The nanny’s retelling of the last days of her charge of the former couple’s two children also included an incident where the Ted Lasso star got under Wilde’s car to stall her rendezvous with new beau Styles.

The internet, as it does, went wild with the salacious details of Wilde and Sudeikis’ marital breakdown. The “special salad dressing” even inspired internet detectives to track down a salad dressing recipe that Olivia Wilde shared on Questlove’s Food Network show Potluck. The infamous vinaigrette includes dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, olive oil, honey, and garlic (which reads as a little too basic to be that “special”). More recently, Wilde shared a page from Nora Ephron’s 1983 novel Heartburn in an Instagram story with a similar recipe that omits the honey, salt, and garlic and calls for Grey Poupon specifically.
