Tips:

Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, and oregano, add a burst of flavor to the dressing. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
Choose a good quality apple cider vinegar: Apple cider vinegar is the base of the dressing, so it's important to choose a good quality one. Look for a vinegar that is unfiltered and has a strong, pungent flavor.
Adjust the sweetness to your liking: The amount of honey in the dressing is adjustable, so you can make it as sweet or as tart as you like. If you want a sweeter dressing, add more honey. If you prefer a tarter dressing, add less honey or omit it altogether.
Make a big batch: This dressing is easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. So, feel free to make a big batch and keep it on hand for your favorite salads.
