Garden Salad with Calamansi Dressing

Calamansi lime or locally known as limau kasturi, is widely available in Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries like Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines. It's commonly paired with sambal belacan, a condiment that is popular in the Malay cuisine. Makes a nice substitute for lemon juice in salad dressing. The use of calamansi lime calls for some sugar as it tends to be more tart than lemon juice.
