Eggless Honey Lime Dressing
Bright, tangy, and just a little bit sweet, this honey lime dressing is the kind of thing that makes you want to pour it over everything. Fresh lime juice and zest bring serious citrus punch, 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 looks as good as it tastes. 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. Store-bought dressings often sneak in eggs or egg-derived emulsifiers to achieve that creamy texture, but this one gets there naturally through the honey and a steady hand with the whisk. It comes together in minutes and keeps well in a sealed jar, making it an easy staple to have on hand all week.
