Citrus n’ Spice Vinaigrette

The complexity and depth of flavor in this refreshing vinaigrette will bring most any salad to new heights. I forget how good it is and often find myself audibly saying, “WOW!” after that glorious first taste.

I’m not usually one to make my own salad dressing, but when I do this is the recipe I most often grab. The lime makes it immediately refreshing, and the honey, dijon, and chili powder each have a place in making it perfectly balanced and keeping you coming back for more.

I would expect to find something like it at a hip restaurant with a thoughtfully curated menu, but most of the time it’s in my fridge. Ha!

I use this vinaigrette for my Citrus Kale Salad recipe and they are the perfect pairing. You could also use it on anything Mexican inspired because of its lime-forward punch. Heck, I’d even add a dash more salt and use it as a chicken marinade for chicken on the grill! Once you taste it, you’ll know why I want it on everything! Enjoy!
