Made this to serve over a mixed summer green salad. I used fresh lemon and added about 1/2 tsp. more honey for DH's taste and a little minced garlic...WONDERFUL. Will be making this often. Thank you.

This vinaigrette is so easy, and so light yet very refreshing and tasty.I used fresh lemons and it was soooooo fantastic! I used the vinaigrette over avocado salad, we had for dinner last night. And it had just the right amount of tang to it! Everyone enjoyed it and used it over other salads I had served! Thanks Lauralie, this is a wonderful quick and easy recipe, which I will be using again.
