Notes
- Yield: This recipe yields approximately 1/2 cup of honey lime dressing.
- Storage: You can store the dressing in the fridge for up to 7 days.
- Taste for seasoning: Be sure to give it a taste and add more if necessary before using it in your recipe.
- If you make it ahead, be sure to give it a good shake before using it.
- While it is convenient to combine all the ingredients in a mason jar and give it a shake, the secret to making an ultra-creamy honey lime dressing lies in the two-step process we are using here. Slowly pouring olive oil into the lime and honey mixture while constantly mixing it ensures perfect emulsification resulting in a smooth dressing. So, for the most creamy dressing, do not skip this part.
