Copycat Bonefish Grill Salad Dressing

Ok, so over the last few months I have reeeeeeeally been trying a lot of copycat recipes. Mainly because 1. It's always better to cook things yourself....2.You know exactly what's in it,  and you can make it personal so it fits your families dietary needs. Bonefish is probably one of my favorite places to eat out. We don't eat out a lot, but Bonefish is a special treat I get excited about. And in my opinion, their house dressing is superb! I use a different acid than bonefish, they typically use orange juice, and frankly, I never have orange juice in my house, so I subbed fresh lemon and lime juice.My version is also a little creamier, which we happen to like. Any lettuce would be thrilled to partner up with this dressing! So enjoy! Even if you don't think this comes close to bonefish, it's still pretty darn good and worth a try:)

2 tbls. xylitol or honey(I have used both...either one works great)
3tbls. water
2tbls. apple cider vinegar(you can also sub red wine vinegar)
1 large clove garlic
1tbls. dijon mustard
2tsp. lime juice
2tsp. lemon juice
1 tbls. fresh cilantro
1/2tsp. dried basil
1/4tsp. sea salt
1/2c. olive oil
Put all ingredients in food processor until everything is combined
You may need to add more oil depending on your taste.....this amount has worked great for me:)
I didn't have hearts of palm or pumpkin seeds handy, so I tossed our salad with some raw sunflower seeds, carrots, and cashews....Deeeeelicious!
