I just received this from Top Secret Recipes. It sounds great, but I've not tried it; come to think of it, I've never even heard of Houston's. I would probably reduce the amount of honey, but I'm posting it as written.

1 cup (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
2 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 1/2 teaspoons minced red bell peppers
1 teaspoon minced onion
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
salt

Directions

1
Combine all ingredients in a small glass or ceramic bowl, mix well.
2
Heat dressing in microwave on high power from 1 to 1-1/2 minutes, or until mixture begins to bubble.
3
Remove from microwave and whisk for 1 minute- this emulsifies the dressing and it should thicken as it cools.
4
Cover and chill for two hours before serving.

This salad dressing is delicious. It's the only way I can get my hubby to eat salads. It may not be just like Houston's ,but I think it's better.I make it exactly as written except for the fresh cilantro. I have used dried and fresh. makes no difference.

Awesome recipe! It's very close to the actual one. It's my absolute favorite salad dressing, except I substitue the honey for agave nector, its healthier and vegan. Mustard is not used in the Houstons recipe. I tried this and it ended up being the honey mustard dressing which is good too. I think there was a mix up. I used more lime and less honey.

This recipe is wrong. It does not have enough lime juice. And they do not use dijon mustard. I used to work for Houston's. The sashimi tuna salad you are thinking of is tossed in Houston's original vinaigrette, an egg based product with champagne vinegar and mustard. The tuna steak also gets that on the entree. The tuna that goes on the salad gets two tablespoons of Cilantro Ginger Vinaigrette, a different product altogether. The honey lime dressing featured here gets tossed with tortilla strips, grilled chicken, cilantro, and carrots and goes in the Grilled Chicken Salad. Then, it gets two ounces of their famous peanut sauce. They don't heat the honey lime dressing like in the recipe or add onions. The cilantro and bell peppers go in right before service. Each quart of dressings gets three tablespoons chopped bell peppers and a 1/4 cup cilantro. trust me, former employee

Oh my gosh!!! You've never heard of Houston's? Its really great and this is THE recipe I've been dying for. This is served on their tuna steaks and tuna salad (with mango and avacado). I noticed you're from Savannah- Houston's has two locations in Buckhead (near Lenox Mall and then across from Benihanna's and the original Longhorn). You should go there. Or just make this dressing and serve over seared tuna with cole slaw and tomato and avacado. Thanks!!! Oh, I'm so happy right now. I'm going to try this and then post my stars, but I'm sure it'll be 5!
