Description
A Spicy Lime & Honey Vinaigrette so sweet, tangy, fresh, and spicy, you’ll make it over and over again. Lime, honey, garlic, cilantro, shallot, and chili, and you make it right in the honey jar!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 small shallot, finely minced
- 1 lime, both juice and zest
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 - 3 bird's eye chilies, finely minced
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Make It in the Honey Jar
• Use a nearly empty honey jar containing approximately 2 tablespoons of honey.
• Add the minced garlic, shallot, lime zest, lime juice, cilantro, bird’s eye chili, olive oil, salt, and pepper directly to the jar.
• Screw the lid on tightly.
• Shake vigorously for 20–30 seconds until the honey has dissolved into the lime juice and the vinaigrette is emulsified.
• Taste and adjust the balance as needed.
If your honey is particularly thick, let the jar sit for a few minutes after adding the lime juice before shaking. The acidity will help loosen the honey.
