Olivia Wilde Suggests the Salad Dressing Is a Nora Ephron Recipe

Olivia Wilde has posted the salad dressing recipe—or at least a salad dressing recipe—that anyone can make from scratch, and she literally took a page out of Nora Ephron’s 1983 classic Heartburn.

In a vacuum, that sentence is total nonsense, but soon it will make more sense, I promise. Stick with me, and you’ll understand at least 75% of it in no time. Where to begin?

Wilde recently ended her relationship with Jason Sudeikis, her longtime partner and father to her children, and began dating Harry Styles, a star of her film Don’t Worry Darling. There was a lot of recent drama around all that, but this is only tangentially related. For our purposes today, that drama just whet the public appetite for this: The couple’s former nanny has collaborated with the Daily Mail, Britain’s number one publisher of romantic psychological thriller serials, on articles about her former employers. Wilde and Sudeikis, it should be noted, together denied the nanny’s account in no uncertain terms in a joint 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,” they said in that joint statement to the Daily Mail. “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.”

Still, the nanny’s account is out there. In one of the articles, she alleged that Sudeikis was so distraught over Wilde’s separation from him that when Wilde made for her new boyfriend a “special dressing” that she often made for their family, Sudeikis got so upset that he lay down in front of Wilde’s car so she couldn’t take the dressing to Styles. The nanny, recalling the conversation she claimed she had with Sudeikis, said the actor told her, “[Wilde] has a special salad dressing she makes for us and she’s taken it to have it with him now.”

This resulted in the whole of Twitter, and bits of Instagram, and even some of TikTok wondering out loud, What homemade salad dressing would cause a man to prostrate himself in front of a car so that a pop star turned actor would never taste its tangy (or creamy? Or sweet?) flavors? Some speculated that it’s the same dressing Wilde shared on a 2020 Food Network special, and these people may have been correct because on Tuesday, after all of this conjecture, Wilde posted that page from Heartburn.

Heartburn is a book about how Nora Ephron told everyone in the District of Columbia who Deep Throat was, but nobody listened, so she left. Sorry, no, it’s a thinly veiled autobiographical tale about how her husband, notable journalist Carl Bernstein, cheated on her when she was pregnant so she left.
