Tips

For a sweeter dressing, use more honey. For a tangier dressing, use more lemon or orange juice.
To make a vinaigrette-style dressing, whisk the oil and vinegar together first, then add the honey, citrus juice, and herbs.
For a creamier dressing, add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or sour cream.
To make a gluten-free dressing, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
Store the dressing in a jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Use fresh citrus juice for the best flavor. Bottled or concentrated juice will not give you the same results.
If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs. Just be sure to use half the amount, as dried herbs are more concentrated.
Taste the dressing before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.
