Step away from the bottled salad dressing. This honey-lemon-mint vinaigrette couldn't be simpler, and it's infinitely better than a store-bought version. The lemon juice brightens up the oil-based dressing, and the fresh mint complements the sweetness of the honey and lends a Spring touch. You'll actually look forward to eating salads if you've got this in the fridge.
