Some of this is contrary to what I've read and my personal experience:

Subjecting EVOO to an electric blender results in a distinctly bitter taste. For salad dressings that involve a blender, I stick with non-EV olive oils.

I've never considered using a blender to make a dressing. I was thinking "drizzle oil over leaves with some vinegar" type of dressing. Something like that is where you'd be able to taste the flavors of the oil. But I'm one of those weird people who goes to oil tasting rooms to find the ones I like so maybe its not a universal advice.

Nor me. I mix oil, cider vinegar, seasoning and a dash of mustard (emulsifier) in a small jar with a lid, and shake hard.
