HONEY LIME DRESSING

Honey Lime Dressing image

This lovely light dressing is great over fruit salad or mixed greens. I like to sprinkle my greens with a little sesame seed. You can also add a pinch of cayenne to the dressing for a little heat, or maybe a little ginger depending on your taste.

Time 5m

Yield 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1/4 cup lime juice (about 2 limes)
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (allspice or cardamom work too)
1/8 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

I like to mix my salad dressings in a glass jar with a lid.
Combine all ingredients and shake well to combine.
Chill.
Shake again before serving.

Tips:

Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your dressing. Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes that are bursting with flavor.
Honey adds a touch of sweetness: Honey helps to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes and adds a touch of sweetness. If you don't have honey, you can substitute another type of sweetener, such as maple syrup or agave nectar.
Red wine vinegar adds a touch of acidity: Red wine vinegar adds a touch of acidity and depth of flavor to the dressing. If you don't have red wine vinegar, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as white wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar.
Fresh herbs add a pop of flavor: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, add a pop of flavor and freshness to the dressing. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
Salt and pepper to taste: Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.

Conclusion:

This summer tomato honey delight dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads and dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a light and refreshing dressing, give this one a try!
