Delicious on my Honeymoon Salad
but also great on chicken or just about anything!
This vinaigrette goes great on my Honeymoon Salad and would be good on just about anything! The honey adds a nice note of sweetness while the jalapeño adds a subtle heat. I can’t think of a whole lot this dressing wouldn’t be good on!
Making your own dressing is quick and easy. It really adds to the freshness and when you make it yourself, you know exactly what’s in it! I recommend storing in an air-tight container, like a mason jar, in the refrigerator and using it on salad, chicken, etc.
