This is a delicious, tangy vinaigrette. It's so versatile, it can be used for mixed greens or taco salads. Enjoy! Serve immediately or keep in the fridge for 4 to 5 days. I prefer white wine vinegar in this recipe, as opposed to regular white vinegar. You can also use Dijon mustard if you prefer to spicy brown.

3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons honey

Steps:

Tips:

  • Taste the dressing as you go and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more citrus juice, honey, or salt and pepper.
  • This dressing is best used fresh. However, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
