Notes

Notes:
  • For a smoother dressing, you can blend the ingredients in a blender. However, whisking by hand creates a slightly thicker texture, which some prefer.
  • Adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your liking by adding more honey or balsamic vinegar, respectively.
  • The dressing will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.
