Spicy Honey Vinaigrette

Spicy Honey Vinaigrette has a flavor profile that delivers a subtle punch without TKOing the taste buds. Cider vinegar, honey, soy sauce, garlic & ginger. Simply SatedA long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…. in the land where I had young skin and 20/20 vision, there were few varieties of salad dressings from which to choose, and Spicy Honey Vinaigrette was never a glimmer of an idea in anyone’s thought bubble.

Spicy Honey Vinaigrette has a flavor profile that delivers a subtle punch without TKOing the taste buds. Cider vinegar, honey, soy sauce, garlic & ginger. Simply SatedItalian, Thousand Island, Blue Cheese and French were the main choices available. There were also a few specialty dressings like Western, Dorothy Lynch and Roquefort, but nothing compared to the varieties on the market today. I don’t think I had even heard of Ranch Dressing until high school or possibly college.  Now, in 2015, we have too many options. I have found myself staring at row after row of salad dressing in the grocery store and stressing over which one to buy.   Should I try Italian, or Robusto Italian, or Bruschetta Italian, or maybe Balsamic Italian, or Mediterranean Italian?  Whew! It is exhausting.

Simply SatedOver the past several years, I added homemade salad dressings to my cooking repertoire, and I’m so happy I did. Not only does making my own salad dressings help de-stress grocery shopping, it also makes it possible to control the salt content and add a ton of fresh flavor to my salads.

Two of my homemade dressings that I love are Basil Green Goddess and Poppyseed Sweet and Sour.

    This is a terrific dressing! I added a little extra SRIRACHA for our taste. It was great on a simple salad paired with steak and mashed sweet potatoes. Thanks for the recipe!

    Susie! I keep coming up with different dinner recipes as an excuse to use this dressing. It is so good I could drink it with a straw. It is a perfect replacement for a sauce I had at a restaurant out of state that I unfortunately keep craving now that we are back home. Thanks for the recipe!
    Creamy Chicken Soup. Tender chicken, aromatic vegetables and herbs, cream, a splash of wine topped with a touch of nutty Gruyere. The ultimate comfort food. Simply Sated
