Instructions

  • In a blender, combine all of the salad dressing ingredients as listed. Blend until completely smooth. Taste, and add additional salt if the dressing doesn’t make your eyes light up. If it’s too sour, blend in a bit more honey.
  • Serve over greens and any other ingredients you’d like. Recipe keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for 1 to 2 weeks.
