I adore a simple lemon and oil dressing on almost any kind of salad. Sometimes I want a little something with a kick, and this Spiced Lemon Salad Dressing fits the bill. I have yet to find a salad I do not enjoy it on!

It is very easy to make, incredibly healthy, and kid-friendly in my home.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 cup olive oil (or a 50/50 blend of olive oil and coconut oil)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Pepper to taste

Directions

1. Whisk lemon juice, yogurt, honey, cumin, cinnamon and ginger in a small bowl until blended.
2. Slowly whisk in oil so that the dressing becomes smooth and emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
