Swirls of Flavor Recipe Tips
- Love a little spice? Add a pinch of chipotle chili powder for a chipotle honey lime vinaigrette
- Store this dressing in the refrigerator in a mason jar with a lid. Just give it a shake before using.
- Although you can use bottle lime juice, I recommend using fresh lime juice because fresh-squeezed juice will always give you the best flavor
- Add chopped fresh herbs such as cilantro or parsley
- Extra virgin olive oil always lends a delicious flavor
- Use this vinaigrette as a marinade!
Substitutions
- Substitute your favorite citrus, such as lemon or orange, for the lime
- Agave syrup can be used in place of honey
- Pure maple syrup can be substituted for the honey but will give it a slightly different flavor

- Store Honey Lime Salad Dressing in an airtight container, or mason jar with a lid, in the refrigerator.
- Salad dressing will stay fresh for about one week when refrigerated.
