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.

Questions & Reviews
So garlic ammounts are not mentioned in your recipe- how much?? This looks beautimus!
Garlic is the first ingredient mentioned in the recipe 🙂 One clove, my dear!
I love this dressing and I love your dressing carafe. Do you happen to remember where you got it? Thanks!
The one in the very first thumbnail photo is from Walmart, like $3! The one in the photo at the end is from Michael’s Craft store, and I think it was only about a buck more!
Fresh and yummy! Made me want to keep eating more salad!
I know this recipe is from a long time ago, but I’m making the whole delicious salad tonight after seeing it posted on the Southern Institute blog via Sew Much Ado. I just wanted to say that everything about it is so fantastic. I haven’t even finished the chicken yet, and I want to drink the dressing. I had yummy blood oranges on hand, so the juice came out the most amazing plum-magenta color–they’re a bit sweeter than normal oranges, so I decreased the honey just a bit and added some extra lime juice. SO YUM! Thank you for the time you put into making my dinners better! 🙂
Jessica, you bet. Any type of vegetable oil is fine, so canola would work great.
Question…Could you use a type of oil other than vegetable? I tried it with olive oil (because I don’t keep vegetable on hand) but it didn’t turn out. Do you think I could use canola?
Okay, I tried this dressing last week, and let me just say it was so good I could have drank it straight from the bowl. No, seriously.
I’m trying this one with that honey chicken next week. I’ll let you know how it turns out!
Hey, Kate, I actually just finished taking pics of a yummy vegetarian meal! I’m not planning on posting it for a couple of months, but email me ([email protected]) and I’ll send it to you if you want! Oh, and nice name…way to copy! 😉
Hi girls! I am here to admit that I check out your blog every once in a while. I’m also here to make an outlandish request. Some vegetarian recipes! My crazy husband became veg about a year and a half ago. Consequently I stopped cooking. I’m trying to get back into it and I need easy, quick and filling meal ideas. HELP ME and I’ll love you forever. He’ll eat a little fish every once in a while, and he’s okay with a little dairy but not a whole dish centered on cheese. (Seriously what’s wrong with this guy? Ugh.) Okay I’ve hijacked your comments section. Love your blog. And, oh, it’s prettykatemachine from bbc. Later!
