I’m a big believer in making your own salad dressing for a few reasons. One, it is way more cost effective. Two, you can make it in less than five minutes with items in your pantry. Finally and perhaps the best part, you can change things a little here and there to make it perfect just for you! Here is my Honey Balsamic Salad Dressing that compliments nearly any salad, but my personal favorite is with romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, goat cheese, and topped with candied pecans for a little sweet crunch.

 Ingredients:

• ¼ cup of olive oil
