Paleo Honey Lime Dressing
Bright, tangy, and just a little sweet, this lime and honey dressing is the kind of thing that makes a simple salad feel like something special. Every ingredient earns its place — raw honey brings natural sweetness, fresh lime juice adds a zippy punch, and a touch of grated ginger and turmeric give it a warm, earthy depth that store-bought dressings rarely manage to pull off. Whisking the olive oil in slowly creates a beautifully emulsified pour that clings to greens, roasted vegetables, or grain-free bowls without feeling heavy. Because it skips refined sugars, processed oils, and any additives, it fits cleanly into a whole-foods approach without any label-reading stress. The optional cilantro is a nice finishing touch if you want to lean into that fresh, herby brightness. It comes together in minutes and keeps well in a sealed jar, so you can make a batch ahead and have it ready to go all week.
