4 tbsp clear honey
1 tsp thyme leaves
1 tbsp cider vinegar

  • Put the honey and thyme leaves in a small pan, then gently warm together for 2 mins - the honey shouldn't get hot enough to bubble. Set aside to cool. Make a dressing by whisking together the cider vinegar and rapeseed oil with some seasoning.
