Believe it or not, salads should taste good.
Not just good enough that you’ll eat it because it’s “healthy.”
I mean, they should taste really good. So good that you’ll crave them again and again.
A delicious dressing is the key to any tasty salad, if you ask me, and this refreshing twist on a lemon vinaigrette definitely fits the bill. Bursting with bright lemon and lime juice, a bite of fresh ginger and garlic, and a touch of honey, this oil-free dressing will make your taste buds sing!

I’ve been drenching my salads in this dressing for the past month, and I still can’t get enough of it. You know a dressing is good when you’re tempted to lick the bowl afterward.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Sounds yummy! I recently made a creamy dill/cucumber dressing that I’m loving, but this one will be next! Quick question.. is the mustard taste really strong? I’m definitely not a big mustard fan but I know it hides well in some recipes and gives them a nice flavour… what d’ya think?
I didn’t find the mustard taste too strong, but I do love the taste of mustard… so I might be desensitized to it.
I’m sure it would be delicious without it, too!
I’m totally trying this. I never even thought to have salad without oil…I guess with cheese or avocado you don’t really need extra fat. Win!
Oh, this looks like a great lemon dressing. I’m allergic to mustard though
Sucks, because its used in so much!
That’s a bummer! I bet you could omit the mustard, and probably substitute a splash of apple cider vinegar for a similar flavor.
I am making this all the time since you have mention it before in your blog, but you have been using only lemon and stevia so I use only lemon and stevia. Do you still not use stevia? have you find some differences?
Thanks
I’m still not using stevia, but there’s nothing to report yet.
I agree…salads should taste good…I have been enjoying amazing salads with beets, cherry tomatoes, celery, scallions, and goat cheese…oh so good!
I will have to get these ingredients next time I am grocery shopping! Have a great day!
Your salads sound PERFECT. I’m loving beets + goat cheese lately.
