I'm gluten-free, so I used gluten-free tamari instead of soy sauce. It turned out great! I highly recommend trying it this way if you're gluten-free.

I'm a vegan, so I made a few substitutions to the recipe. I used agave syrup instead of honey, and I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil. It turned out delicious! I highly recommend trying it this way if you're vegan.

I have a sweet tooth, so I added a bit of honey to my dressing. It balanced out the flavors perfectly and made it even more delicious. I highly recommend trying it this way if you like your dressings on the sweeter side.

I like my dressings with a bit of a kick, so I added a jalapeño pepper to mine. It gave it the perfect amount of heat and spice. I highly recommend trying it this way if you like spicy food.
