FRUITY GREEN SALAD WITH HONEY DRESSING

Fruity Green Salad with Honey Dressing image

I'm a beekeeper and always looking for new ways to use honey. I've found that when I put honey in dressing, I don't need to add oil, which cuts down on the fat. This salad goes well with any entree. -Hope Ralph of Woburn, Massachusetts
