Lavender and Honey Salad Dressing

by cdkitchen

Ingredients:

6 T. extra virgin olive oil
2 T. cider vinegar
1 T. lemon juice
1 crushed garlic clove
1 t. coarse grain mustard
2 T. honey
1 t. dried lavender flowers

Whisk all ingredients together and allow to stand for 30 minutes to blend flavors. Editor’s note: This recipe called for balsamic vinegar which is how it was made for the honey party. I feel as though the balsamic vinegar overwhelmed the rest of the flavors and I am recommending the lighter vinegar.
