- Yield: This recipe yields approximately 1/2 cup of honey lime dressing.
- Storage: You can store the dressing in the fridge for up to 7 days.

- While it is convenient to combine all the ingredients in a mason jar and give it a shake, the secret to making an ultra-creamy honey lime dressing lies in the two-step process we are using here. Slowly pouring olive oil into the lime and honey mixture while constantly mixing it ensures perfect emulsification resulting in a smooth dressing. So, for the creamiest dressing, do not skip this part.
