I think I have mentioned I like to eat soups or salads for lunch most days. If I keep my lunches and breakfasts fairly healthy I don’t feel so bad having a burger for dinner, or maybe even a slice of pecan pie afterwards. I also need variety. Mr. Insanity could eat the same thing every day for years and not become bored, even after decades of being together, I still don’t quite understand him. So, my quirk of needing variety means many salad dressing ideas. I love creamy dressings, but I try and use them sparingly since they tend to be higher in calories than their vinaigrette counterparts. I love the tangy sweetness that the honey and lemon create here. This is also a dressing you can make for any Paleo friends out there as I believe all of the ingredients in this are paleo friendly. This is a super easy dressing that comes together in about five minutes.We start with a little lemon juice into a jar.
To that we add some salt and pepper and a little Dijon mustard. Then we drizzle in a little honey. I love to watch honey pour for some odd reason.
Top if off with some olive oil and shake that up. Dressing is made! I keep mine in the fridge and it lasts for a week.
