Homemade Honey Harissa Vinaigrette is a crazy easy and totally crave-worthy salad dressing! This versatile vinaigrette compliments everything from leafy green salads to veggie packed cucumber and quinoa bowls.
I’m not sure which has me squealing more – my new blog design or the recipe. Pretty sure the recipe wins just for the simple fact that I can eat it.
I seriously want to drizzle this honey harissa dressing on EVERYTHING!
The salad above was a medley of thinly sliced cucumber, radish, and romaine lettuce (aka the only tasty veggies in my crisper at the time) but this delish dressing also crazy amazing over pretty much every veggie ever!
Carrots, red onion, spring mix, spinach, tomatoes, peppers… I could go on and on!
I’m also totally jonesin’ to try this honey harissa vinaigrette over a shredded brussels sprout salad so that is for sure next on my faceplant line up! The possibilities are endless.
In the meantime, let’s get our recipe on!
Honey Harissa Vinaigrette
This delicious dressing reminds me of the chipotle vinaigrette at Chipotle, but with a flavorful harissa vibe to it.
Sweet, tangy, with a kiss of smokiness…Veggies have never had it so good!

No harissa? No problem! I’ve seen it at stores such as World Market and The Fresh Market and personally have ordered mine online through Amazon as well (Prime FTW!) but in a pinch you can totally try this dressing with Sriracha chili sauce or even Sambal Oleck!
The dressing will have a different flavor but still be a super tasty salad topper. Be sure to start small and increase the amount as you taste + tweak because both swaps are a bit more intense in the heat/spice department!
I’m so seriously stoked for your to try this tasty harissa dressing recipe!
