Seed Oil Free Honey Lime Dressing
Bright, tangy, and just sweet enough, this lime and honey dressing is the kind of thing you'll want to drizzle on everything from grain bowls to grilled chicken to a simple green salad. Extra-virgin olive oil is the fat base here, which means you're completely clear of the canola, soybean, and sunflower oils that sneak into nearly every bottled dressing on the market. Fresh lime juice and zest give it a lively citrus punch, while raw honey rounds out the acidity without tipping into cloying territory. A little grated ginger and ground turmeric add warmth and depth that make this taste far more complex than the short ingredient list suggests. Whisking the olive oil in slowly creates a beautifully emulsified dressing that clings to leaves rather than pooling at the bottom of the bowl. Optional fresh cilantro takes it in a slightly herby, vibrant direction if you're into that. It comes together in minutes and keeps well in a sealed jar, so you can make a batch ahead and have a clean, wholesome dressing ready all week.
