Creamy Cobb Salad Dressing Recipe
Description
The dressing is made by combining oil, vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and salt in a jar or blender, blending or shaking until creamy and well-incorporated. The mustard adds a subtle tang and emulsifies the mixture, while honey balances acidity with sweetness. Mayonnaise contributes a smooth, rich texture that coats salad ingredients pleasingly.
The dressing is straightforward to prepare with common pantry ingredients and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Bringing it back to room temperature and shaking before use ensures a consistent texture. This versatile dressing pairs well with salads featuring bold or fresh flavor components, such as the traditional Cobb.
A single serving is about two tablespoons, making it easy to control portions. Adjustments in sweetness or acidity can be made by varying honey or vinegar quantities.
