Honey-Citrus Vinaigrette

This dressing has an amazing sweet and tangy flavor combination that works as well drizzled over grilled proteins as it does drilled over a salad. I’ve even added extra garlic and cumin and used it as a marinade for chicken. It’s fantastic on salads like this Strawberry Mango Chicken Salad, or try it over mixed greens, avocado, red onions, and this Spicy Honey Chicken.
