Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

PLAN/PURCHASE
1 c mayonnaise, plain variety, i prefer duke's
1/4 c creamy dijon mustard, i prefer grey poupon
1 Tbsp fresh clover honey
1 Tbsp dill pickle juice
salt, kosher variety, to taste
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. Homemade Mayonnaise To be sure, there are some good store-bought mayo's on the market (my all-time favorite is Duke's) If you live in the South, you have probably seen it on the shelves of your local grocer; however, as you travel North, it becomes as scarce as hen's teeth. If you would like to take a stab at making your own (it really is not all that difficult), check out this recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/spread/mayonnaise-essentials-faux-duke-s-version.html?r=1
  • 3. If you do not want to use pickle juice, you can always substitute an equal amount of freshly squeezed lemon juice, or perhaps some apple-cider vinegar.
  • 4. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 5. Whisk all the ingredients together, and store in a non-reactive container in the fridge until required.
  • 6. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 7. Use on salads, drizzle over fish or chicken, or as a dip. Enjoy.
  • 8. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, in-season tomatoes: This will ensure the best flavor.
  • Choose a good quality honey: Look for a honey that is flavorful and not too sweet.
  • Use fresh herbs: Herbs will add a pop of flavor to the dressing.
  • Taste the dressing before serving: Adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  • Serve the dressing immediately: This dressing is best when served fresh.

Conclusion:

Summer Tomato Honey Delight Dressing is a refreshing and flavorful dressing that is perfect for summer salads. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its bright and tangy flavor, this dressing is sure to be a hit at your next barbecue or potluck.
