5-Minute Honey Lime Dressing
Description
The 5-Minute Honey Lime Dressing combines fresh lime zest and juice with minced garlic and shallot to build a zesty base. Honey adds a natural sweetness that balances the tart lime, while olive oil is added slowly to emulsify the mixture into a smooth dressing. Seasoned with salt and black pepper to taste, this vinaigrette can enhance many dishes.
The preparation is straightforward, involving whisking the ingredients together and storing in an airtight container. Chilling may cause solidification of the olive oil, so allowing it to reach room temperature before use ensures a smooth pour. This dressing is versatile for use on a variety of salads or as a marinade component.
Ingredients
DRESSING:
- 1 lime zested
- 1/4 /4 cup lime juice freshly squeezed, approximately 2 limes
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 Tablespoon shallot finely chopped
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 1/4 /4 cup olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Whisk together lime zest, lime juice, garlic, shallot, and honey in a medium bowl or mason jar.
- Slowly pour in olive oil while whisking until all ingredients are combined. Salt and pepper to taste.

Notes
- This recipe yields approximately half a cup of dressing, suitable for multiple servings.
- Allow the dressing to come to room temperature before using if stored in the refrigerator, as olive oil may solidify when cold.
