Honey Lime Dressed Citrus Salad
Have we talked about how much I love vinegar yet? No? Well, I love it so much that I actually used to own my own raw vinegar production company (a throwback to my good old high school days).
Why do I love vinegar? For the same reason, I love pineapple and other citrus fruits! It’s acidic and I love it!
I remember back when I used to work at Panera, I used to chow down on the leftover lemon wedges at the end of my shift during closing.
I just love the sour and tangy taste of acidic foods. So naturally, I love this Honey Lime Dressed Citrus Salad.
Don’t worry, I know that most people don’t like a huge sour punch when eating their fruit (despite my own odd preferences) so trust me when I say that this recipe has the perfect balanced between sweet and sour.
This Honey Lime Dressed Citrus Salad is the perfect refreshing dish for any picnic or dinner party. It’s simple enough to make without breaking the bank (in both time and money respects).
Additionally, as I am sure you can imagine, this dish is packed full of Vitamin C. A powerful vitamin and antioxidant that is necessary for a variety of vital body functions (think immune and bone health).
