This Honey Poppy Seed Dressing contains lemon juice and skins, making a delicious heart healthy recipe. The lemons provide rich

antioxidants helping to deactivate free radicals which can lead to stroke and cardiovascular diseases. In addition, the vitamins in lemons help strengthen the blood vessels. Lemons also help lower blood pressure and increases the levels of good cholesterol (HDL). The honey in this heart healthy recipe also con- tributes to lowering cholesterol by providing high amounts of minerals such as potassium, calcium and sodium; along with B complex vitamins.
