One of my favourite parts of Sunday dinners with my nonna was the insalata course, always served after the pasta. It was just seasonal greens, dressed simply with red wine vinegar and olive oil, and was always delicious. This vinaigrette has a few more ingredients to pair with the bitter winter greens (notably, the honey). You might want to double or triple the vinaigrette—it’s a great staple to keep in the fridge all week.—Jess Maiorano
