Notes
- *You can use sugar in place of honey. Both honey and Dijon mustard are emulsifiers meaning they will keep the mixture from separating.
- The slower you drizzle the oil, the better!
- We love the addition of parmesan cheese but it will cause the dressing to separate so we prefer to add it to the salad instead of the dressing. This dressing will last up to 3 days in the fridge.
