Loved this vinaigrette over greens this evening for supper. Didn't have chicken but will another time. Used stevia instead of honey, and 1/2tbsp dried basil instead of basil leaves. This is so good I'm reserving the fifth and last star for when I use fresh basil leaves and prepare the chicken with it..that will be outstanding!
