Honey-Citrus Vinaigrette

Have you ever looked at the ingredient list for something and just known in the pit of your soul that your taste buds would love it?? That's how I felt when I saw the ingredients for this vinaigrette.

My friend Elaine sent me several delicious recipes recently and one of them was a dressing similar to this. Elaine and I lived next door to each other back in college and bonded instantly with our sarcastic personalities and our appreciation of all things tasty. So I'm going to pay it forward and share it with all of you, even though I've changed the recipe a bit from the original. It's fabulous on all kinds of things, especially salads involving chicken and avocado. I even used the leftovers, adding a bit more cumin and an extra garlic clove or two, to marinate some chicken breasts and they were awesome on the grill. Enjoy!
