Barley Free Honey Lime Dressing
Bright, tangy, and just a little bit sweet, this honey lime dressing is the kind of thing you'll want to drizzle over everything — grain bowls, grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad. Fresh lime juice and zest give it a punchy citrus backbone, while raw honey rounds out the acidity without tipping into cloying territory. A touch of grated ginger and ground turmeric add warmth and a gorgeous golden hue that makes the whole thing look as good as it tastes. Store-bought dressings can be surprisingly tricky to navigate when you're avoiding certain grains, since thickeners and malt-derived ingredients have a way of sneaking into the ingredient list. This one is made entirely from whole, recognizable pantry staples, so you know exactly what's going in. Whisking the olive oil in slowly creates a beautifully emulsified dressing that clings to your salad instead of pooling at the bottom of the bowl. Make a jar at the start of the week and you'll find yourself reaching for it every single day.
