1 To prepare the dressing, combine all of the ingredients in a liquid measuring cup. Whisk until blended.
2 Taste, and adjust as needed—add another teaspoon of honey if the mixture tastes too acidic. If the mixture is overall too bold for your liking, dilute it with a couple more tablespoons of olive oil at a time, or if it’s just not quite fantastic yet, add more salt and pepper.
3 Use as desired. Store leftover dressing in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 1 week. It will separate over time, so just whisk it back together before serving (if the olive oil solidifies a bit in the refrigerator, don’t worry, that’s normal—just let it warm up for about 5 minutes at room temperature or microwave for 10 to 20 seconds).
