Today's Recipe – Honey Garlic Dressing

By Rosa G

Difficulty: Easy  Time: 10 minutes  Yields: 1/4 cup

This is a smooth, creamy dressing that goes well with most salads.  Try it on dark greens such as Kale, or Spinach.  The spicyness of the garlic, sweetness of the honey, and slight bitterness of the dark greens will give your taste buds all the flavors needed to make a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• 2 garlic cloves, minced or squeezed through a garlic presser
• 1 teaspoon honey
• pinch of sea salt
• 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Combine the garlic, honey, and sea salt in a small bowl.  Mix thoroughly.

Add balsamic vinegar, and olive oil.  Mix all ingredients thoroughly until it forms into a creamy, blended dressing.  Add more olive oil or vinegar to desired thinness.

Pour over your salad.  Enjoy!  This dressing will last in the refrigerator for 2 days.

Tip #1:  Substitute balsamic vinegar with apple cider vinegar, or red wine vinegar for a different texture.

Tip #2:  If you like hot, spicy food then add another garlic clove or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dressing, and mix thoroughly.

Enjoy!
