Notes
Adjusting Sweetness: The flavor of honey can vary by region and season. Start with half, taste, and add more if you prefer a sweeter dressing. Local wildflower honey gives a beautiful depth.
Consistency Tip: If your dressing feels too thick, whisk in a teaspoon of warm water or olive oil at a time until it reaches your preferred pourable texture.
Marinade Magic: This dressing doubles as an incredible marinade for chicken or pork. Let the meat rest in it for at least 30 minutes before cooking for tender, flavorful results.
