  2. Mix all the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and toss with the dressing to evenly coat. Add more salt or pepper as needed.
  4. If time allows, chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours so the flavors can meld together. Otherwise, serve right away. Drizzle honey over top when ready to serve and enjoy!
