Scale

Salad Dressing Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small mixing bowl, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 teaspoons of lime juice, the zest of 1 lime, 2 teaspoons of honey, 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper.
  2. Whisk the Dressing: Whisk briskly using a fork or small whisk until all ingredients are fully combined and the dressing is emulsified, resulting in a smooth and well-blended mixture.
  3. Serve or Store: Use immediately tossed over your favorite greens or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir or shake well before each use.

Notes

  • The lime zest adds a bright citrus aroma—ensure you only zest the green part to avoid bitterness.
  • Adjust honey quantity for desired sweetness.
  • Shake or whisk the dressing again before serving if stored.
  • Perfect for green salads, grilled vegetables, or as a marinade.
