Honey lime Dressing Ingredients

Lime: you can use what you have on hand. I use the organic lime juice. It is ok to use lemon juice.

Olive oil: It is best to buy quality olive oil. Choose cold-pressed, organic and extra virgin oils. Check out Things to Look for While Buying Olive Oil.

Honey: find a beekeeper who keeps the bees in a quiet, forested place, away from the city and pollution. Grab an organic raw honey. If you want, you can substitute agave syrup.

Garlic: it adds a special flavor. Some people don’t like garlic. If I don’t have it, sometimes I just skip it. The dressing still turns out perfectly. You can use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic.

Mustard is made from the seeds of the mustard plant. Mustard imparts a unique flavor to this homemade honey lime dressing.

Is a lime healthier than a lemon? Lemons have significantly more citric acid than limes. Plus, they are an excellent source of potassium and magnesium.

Lime fruits are nutritional powerhouses — high in vitamin C, antioxidants, and other nutrients. Lime fruit may help:
