Time 5m

Yield Makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup (65 grams) Dijon mustard
3 to 4 tablespoons (65 to 85 grams) honey, to taste
3 to 4 tablespoons (45 to 60 ml) apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup (60 ml) extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, optional
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the black pepper and whisk until well blended and creamy. Whisk in the oil, and then taste the dressing. Adjust with additional salt, vinegar, or honey. I enjoy my dressing to taste more tart, so I typically add an extra tablespoon of vinegar.
  • Alternatively, add all ingredients to a medium mason jar, secure the lid, and shake until blended.
  • Keep tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.

Yield 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/2 cup fat free Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • This dressing is great on salads, grilled chicken, or fish.
  • If you're making the dressing ahead of time, store it in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This light honey mustard dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful dressing, give this recipe a try!
