In a food processor, combine all of the ingredients and blend until smooth. Taste, and add more salt and/or pepper if necessary. Use as desired!

This dressing will keep well, covered and refrigerated, for up to 1 week.

Recipe inspired by The Mixx in Kansas City, and adapted from dressing recipes in my cookbook, Love Real Food.

Make it vegan:

Use maple syrup instead of honey.
