White Balsamic Dressing
Green * Makes 1 cup
2 Tablespoons agave nectar
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Whisk agave nectar and vinegar in a bowl. Add oil in a stream whisking until emulsified. This is especially good on spinach (or mesclun) salad with walnuts, dried cranberries (or fresh strawberries) and sliced red onions.

1 cup olive oil
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup honey

2 cloves garlic, minced
In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, basil, and garlic. Pour over or toss with your favorite salad to serve.
