In perhaps the most unlikely news story to come out of 2022, everybody is talking about Olivia Wilde’s salad dressing.
But forget about the thousand island, balsamic and Caesar dressing - because the Don’t Worry Darling director’s recipe is allegedly responsible for her fallout with Jason Sudeikis.
Sudeikis and Wilde - who share two children, Otis, 8, and Daisy, 5 - had a nanny, who recently spoke out about a supposed dramatic fight that ensued when the filmmaker, 38, reportedly prepared a salad in November 2020.

But this wasn’t just any salad, this side-dish was allegedly being prepared for none other than Harry Styles - who Wilde went on to cast in her recent release alongside Florence Pugh.
The former employee of the family claimed in an interview with the Daily Mail: "Jason told me, 'she made this salad and she made her special dressing and she's leaving with her salad to have dinner with [Harry]."
She also alleged that the Ted Lasso star laid under Wilde's car to make her late.

Of course, social media was ablaze with questions from fans about the salad dressing that seemed to have captured the heart of the 'Watermelon Sugar' singer.
"I need to know absolutely everything about Olivia Wilde’s 'special salad dressing'," one person penned. Someone else asked: "Ok what is in Olivia Wilde‘s salad dressing that made Jason Sudeikis actually lay in front of her car to prevent her from taking it to Harry styles?"
The star took to Instagram on Tuesday night, sharing an excerpt from Nora Ephron’s autobiographical novel Heartburn, which details the instructions for a ‘vinaigrette’.

“Mix two tablespoons Grey Poupon mustard with two tablespoons good red wine vinegar,” the recipe reads.
“Then, whisking constantly with a fork, slowly add six tablespoons olive oil, until the vinaigrette is thick and creamy; this makes a very strong vinaigrette that’s perfect for salad greens like arugula and watercress and endive.”
UNILAD has contacted a representative of Olivia Wilde, Jason Sudeikis, and Harry Styles for a comment.
However, representatives for both Wilde and Sudeikis have denied the claims made by their former childminder in the Daily Mail article, which has since been taken down.

They said in a statement: "As parents, it is incredibly upsetting to learn that a former nanny of our two young children would choose to make such false and scurrilous accusations about us publicly.
"Her now 18-month-long campaign of harassing us, as well as loved ones, close friends and colleagues, has reached its unfortunate apex.
“We will continue to focus on raising and protecting our children with the sincere hope that she will now choose to leave our family alone."
