Original Recipe can be found @ www.cleaneatingmag.com SUBSTITUTE - To reduce the amount of sugar in this recipe substitute the honey with your favorite sweetener, use low carb tofu and reduce the amount of orange juice to 2 tablespoons. If you find it is too much vinegar cut it back to 1/4 cup or add a little extra sweetener to cut the vinegar tartness. This is a good trick at restaurants when the dressing has too much vinegar. Sprinkle your salad with enough sweetener to tone it down.
