Salad Dressing Two Ways
Spring or Summer?
In this series of recipes, we wanted to showcase the versatility of tea and honey as ingredients and emphasize thinking outside the box. So, in this series of photos you can see our simple herb and honey vinaigrette as a side salad at brunch or the main course for a light summer dinner. Where will you serve yours?
Cooking with Honey
Recommended Honeys for Salad Dressing
Honey is a wonderful, natural sweetener for salad dressings and marinades. Rather than using sugar, which can often leave your dressing feeling gritty, we recommend trying honey to add a little healthy sweetness to your next salad dressing!.
Monofloral honeys (or blossom honeys) come in a rainbow of colors and flavor profiles. For lighter vinaigrettes, a light honey like Acacia or Spanish Orange Blossom will provide a little sweet without too much added flavor from the honey. For darker dressings and marinades, the molasses-like flavors of Spanish Black Forest or Buckwheat are the ideal complement. Fans of spice might find that our Ghost Pepper Infused Honey provides the ideal addition of sweet heat. Explore our collection of monofloral honeys below to find the perfect one for your next dressing or marinade!
