I'm not sure I'd call them "very difficult to break." I got a set of 32 glasses about 4 years ago, and have broken at least 5 glasses since then. I'm definitely going to replace the broken ones at ...

Oh - forgot to mention! Sometimes I warm it up just a bit before drizzling it on the salad.

I use an old pesto jar for this purpose; it holds just enough dressing for 2! Here's the dressing I use for Frisee aux lardons (adapted from Orangette): 2 Tbsp. olive oil
