A good salad dressing can make or break a salad, in my humble opinion.

As a dietitian helping people eat healthier, we make a lot of salads. And some of them my kids will even eat, like when I use this honey lemon dressing!

I kid you not! If you have a picky eater who won’t even go near a salad, I recommend trying a yummy dressing or dip.

A great thing about this lemon and honey salad dressing is it’s simple and versatile – everything you’d want in a dressing or marinade.

It is great on any of your favorite salad recipes – from light and summery to fall-ish, like this apple cranberry quinoa salad.

If you want a creamier option, this honey mustard yogurt dressing pairs great with chicken nuggets, tofu nuggets, fruits and more!

  • Ready in minutes– Seriously, there’s no excuse not to make this easy lemon honey olive oil dressing. It literally is ready in 2 minutes!
  • Save money on storebought dressings– Say goodbye to the millions of ingredients in your dressings from the grocery store because we’re only using 5 pantry staples here – lemon, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt and a quality olive oil.
  • Use on so many things – I love this honey lemon vinaigrette salad dressing on my mango quinoa salad, crockpot carrots and potatoes, or kale quinoa sweet potato salad, and it add great flavors to pasta salads and chicken marinades.
  • Great for meal prep – I’ll take 2 minutes to make this on Sunday to use throughout the week on my salads to elevate them. A form of simple meal prep!

    I use this on EVERYTHING. I love the small ingredients list – I often find that dressings end up having more ingredients than the meal itself, so this was very refreshing to see!
