- Fresh lime juice brightens the flavor; freshly squeezed is best.
- Adjust the amount of honey to control sweetness according to taste.
- Store leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- If the dressing thickens upon refrigeration, stir in a little water before serving.
