Notes
- apple cider vinaigrette
- lemon vinaigrette
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The greens may wilt slightly, but the flavors will still be delicious. For best results, keep the dressing separate and add it just before serving.
- Dressing variations: The honey balsamic vinaigrette is simple and delicious, but if you want to switch it up, try my apple cider vinaigrette or lemon vinaigrette for a different flavor.
