Chicken 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. 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 even a simple salad look intentional. Whisking the olive oil in slowly creates a beautifully emulsified dressing that clings to greens, grain bowls, or roasted vegetables instead of pooling at the bottom of the bowl. Optional fresh cilantro takes it in a more herbaceous direction if you're into that. It comes together in minutes with ingredients you likely already have on hand, and it keeps well in a sealed jar for easy weeknight meals.
