Honey Shriacha Lime Dressing
Wednesday's, in Key West, was a girl's day to talk essential oils, recipes, life lessons, health, work and anything else that crossed our minds. It was time spent baby-sitting the most precious little rabbit, Gable, while feeding him orchid flowers and colorful blooms from the bougainvillea tree. Mama Maggie believed it was carrots that Gable considered crack but let me tell you he enjoyed his orchid/bougainvillea petals as much as we did our salads, hibiscus tea and wonderful conversations.
Ingredients
- 3 TBSP fresh lime juice [lemon works too!]
- 4-5 TBSP white vinegar
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 TBSP honey
- 1 TBSP sugar
- 1 large clove garlic, pressed/smashed + minced
- 1 tsp Sriracha chili sauce, plus extra to taste
- 1/4 tsp salt
Directions
- 1. If using lemons instead of lime, one extra large lemon should yield enough juice. When using limes, count on having two handy just in case, since they’re usually smaller and yield less juice.
2. As mentioned above, lemon juice is a delicious substitution if you don’t have a lime handy; I’ve made this dressing both ways and it’s simply glorious! You may also swap rice vinegar for the white vinegar if you have it! Though I used olive oil in my dressing, feel free to try it with avocado or grape seed oil for an equally healthy swap!
- Roll your lime [or lemon!] on the countertop to help release the juices, then slice and squeeze into a small bowl. Measure out 3 TBSP and set aside.
- Combine citrus juice with vinegar, oil, honey, sugar, garlic, Sriracha, and salt and whisk to incorporate.
- Enjoy!
