Turmeric Honey Lemon Dressing

Want to know a secret for years I would only use hot sauce as my salad dressing. Yes, hot sauce and I mean, I still use it sometimes as a little added kick but I have had such enjoyment not only creating but enjoying healthy salad dressing alternatives! They are not only delicious but packed with nutrients one of my favorites to make is this Turmeric Honey Lemon Vinaigrette.
