Ingredients in This Honey Mustard Lime Vinaigrette Dressing Recipe
Olive Oil: Make sure to get quality olive oil for the utmost flavor. Plus, it is also high in antioxidants.
Honey: Honey is my favorite! It has a fruity and nutty sweetness that adds wonders to the salad dressing.
Dijon Mustard: It has a sharp taste that counteracts the sweetness of honey. And, it also gives the vinaigrette its signature yellow color, along with its many health benefits.
Lemon Juice: It’s the sourness of lemon juice that gives this sauce a unique identity, and also a splash of vitamin C.
Garlic Powder: It elevates the flavor profile with its aroma and savoriness.
White Sugar Powder: It is optional as you can simply add more honey to the mix to balance out the sweetness.
Water: For consistency, and blending all the ingredients properly.
Salt & Pepper
