    Easy Sweet Balsamic Dressing

    I love a good salad recipe, and if you ask me, nothing is more important to a salad than the dressing. Homemade balsamic vinaigrette is one of my favorite types of salad dressings, and let me tell you - this honey balsamic dressing? It's irresistible!

    The thickness of the dressing plus the delectably sweet and tangy flavor makes it a perfect pairing for all kinds of salads. I love honey dressing for a salad with chicken especially. Shredded chicken tastes amazing with honey balsamic vinaigrette!
