Instructions

In a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid, or in a bowl, add olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, honey (if using), and salt and pepper to taste (I like 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper). Shake or whisk to combine. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

Dijon mustard: Sometimes I use up to 2 tablespoons Dijon in this recipe because I love the flavor. Spicy brown mustard works too.
Honey: This dressing doesn't need a sweetener, but sometimes I like to add one. I especially like a touch of sweetness when my salads have fruit such as apples or berries. Pure maple syrup works really well too.
Yield: This recipe makes 1 cup dressing, enough for 8 servings (2 tablespoons each). 1 recipe of dressing will dress 10 to 12 cups salad.
Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator and use within 4 days.
