Honey Mustard Dressing
Description
This dressing combines fresh lemon juice, honey, and Dijon mustard to provide sweetness and sharpness, balanced by apple cider vinegar and garlic for depth. Salt and ground black pepper season the mix, while olive oil creates a smooth, emulsified texture. Ingredients are blended or whisked until fully combined, yielding about three-quarters of a cup.
The dressing can complement various salads or be used as a drizzle over vegetables and grilled meats, providing a fresh and slightly sweet flavor profile. The garlic adds subtle aromatic notes that enhance other ingredients.
For dietary preferences, honey can be substituted with maple syrup to make the dressing vegan. Stone-ground mustard can replace Dijon mustard, though attention should be paid to vinegar levels since yellow mustard is more acidic, to maintain flavor balance.
Ingredients
- 1 lemon juiced (about 2-3 Tablespoons)
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic or shallots, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt sea salt
- black pepper to taste, ground

Instructions

Notes
- Use maple syrup instead of honey to create a vegan version of this dressing.
- Stone-ground mustard may replace Dijon, but adjust honey and vinegar to balance acidity when using yellow mustard.
- Store the dressing in an airtight container for up to one week for best freshness.
