Honey & Herb Vinaigrette

Let’s be honest with one another. Salad dressing it the best part of the salad.

I learned how to emulsify in class this week. Talk about crazy stuff!

(Emulsification in regards to salad dressing is basically when you add the oil to the vinegar mixture so slowly that it mixes completely and doesn’t separate.)

This dressing has a creamy texture because of the emulsification even though it only has oil, vinegar, honey, mustard and herbs in it.

I decided to use fresh basil, green onion and parsley. But feel free to use whatever you have on hand.  Enjoy!
