Honey Mustard Dressing

This honey mustard dressing is the sweet-and-sharp crowd-pleaser everyone loves — smooth Dijon and honey balanced with vinegar and olive oil into a glossy, versatile sauce. It works as a salad dressing, a dip for chicken, or a drizzle over roasted vegetables, and it keeps for a week in the fridge. Two kinds of mustard give it depth, while honey rounds off the sharp edges into something genuinely addictive.

  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Combine the base

    Whisk the Dijon, whole-grain mustard, honey, and vinegar until smooth.

  2. Emulsify

    Slowly stream in the olive oil, whisking constantly, until the dressing is thick and glossy.

  3. Season

    Add salt and pepper to taste, and a splash of water if you want it thinner.

    Keep in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to a week.

The MakeSalads secretUse a mix of smooth Dijon and whole-grain mustard — the smooth gives body while the grainy adds pops of texture and a deeper mustard flavor.
