Citrus Honey Dressing

Citrus Honey Dressing on Fresh Greens

This simple to make citrus and honey dressing is a great addition to any tossed salad. You can also use it as a glaze on meats, or even as a dipping sauce. In this dressing, the combination of juices, zest, honey and fresh basil works on green salads and fruit salads alike. I really prefer homemade dressings for my salad. They are easy to make, and I get to control what goes in them. This one is great to have on hand in the fridge. Just shake it up and it’s ready to serve.
