Breastfeeding Friendly Honey Lime Dressing
Bright, citrusy, and just a little bit sweet, this dressing brings serious life to salads, grain bowls, roasted vegetables, and pretty much anything else you want to drizzle it over. Raw honey and fresh lime juice do the heavy lifting on flavor, while a touch of grated ginger and ground turmeric add warmth and a subtle golden hue that makes the whole thing look as good as it tastes. Turmeric in particular has long been celebrated as a nourishing ingredient, making it a welcome addition when you're being thoughtful about what goes into your body. Extra-virgin olive oil gives the dressing a silky, emulsified texture that clings beautifully to greens without feeling heavy. Everything comes together in one bowl with just a whisk — no blender, no fuss, no mystery ingredients hiding on a store-bought label. The optional cilantro adds a fresh, herby finish that takes it to the next level if you happen to have some on hand. Make a jar at the start of the week and you'll find yourself reaching for it constantly.
