This vinaigrette stays delicious all week long. If you experiment with add-ins and swaps, you might want to use it within 3-5 days.

Notes

Swaps

-Try replacing about half of the vinegar with lemon, orange or lime juice to suit what type of salad you’re having. I like to use orange when making Chinese chicken salad, lemon for Mediterranean salads and lime in my southwest salad!

-Feel free to use agave or even granulated sugar in place of honey

-Try using fresh herbs instead of dried. Almost any and all combos will work! I love using a combination of parsley, mint and dill.
