Ingredients
Honey Mustard Dressing
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 small garlic clove, grated or minced
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt, more to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, extra-virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar (or fresh lemon juice), honey, grated or minced garlic, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well-emulsified.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the dressing and adjust the salt, pepper, or honey as desired to balance the flavors to your liking.

Notes
- The apple cider vinegar can be substituted with fresh lemon juice for a brighter acidity.
- Adjust honey quantity for preferred sweetness level.
- Grated garlic can be replaced with garlic powder if needed.
- Shake or whisk again before each use if stored, as the dressing may separate.
- Works well as a marinade for chicken or vegetables.
