Honey Mustard Salad Dressing Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard (half smooth, half whole grain)
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl or jar, add the olive oil, white wine vinegar, freshly squeezed lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, dried garlic powder, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Whisk Until Smooth: Whisk all the ingredients together vigorously until the mixture is completely emulsified and smooth, ensuring the oil and vinegar blend well.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor balance.
  • Adjust the honey quantity for more or less sweetness based on your preference.
  • Mixing half smooth and half whole grain Dijon mustard adds texture and depth of flavor.
  • Always shake the dressing before use as ingredients may separate over time.
  • Can be served on green salads, as a dip for vegetables, or a sauce for grilled chicken or fish.
