This recipe couldn’t be simpler. I am a big fan of those throw everything in a blender or food processor and out comes something delicious. It’s like I’m some sort of magician. Abracadabra!
There is basil and cilantro in this dressing and I used avocado oil as the base as I find it has a very mild flavour so the herbs can really shine. I also used fresh lemon juice and a dash of apple cider vinegar for an extra zing. BUT – let us not forget the honey! Use a light coloured raw honey. I really love the Peace River Honey but whatever local honey you have should be great!
