Cinnamon Free Honey Lime Dressing
Bright, tangy, and just a little bit golden, this lime and honey dressing is the kind of thing you'll want to put on everything. Fresh lime juice and zest bring a sharp citrus punch, while raw honey rounds out the acidity with natural sweetness — no refined sugar, no fuss. A touch of grated ginger and ground turmeric give it warmth and depth without leaning on any of the spices that can sneak into store-bought dressings and cause problems for sensitive eaters. The slow-drizzle emulsification technique keeps the olive oil perfectly blended, so every pour coats your greens evenly rather than pooling at the bottom of the bowl. Optional fresh cilantro adds a herby finish that makes it feel genuinely restaurant-worthy. It comes together in minutes and keeps well in a sealed jar, making it an easy staple to have on hand all week long.
