Sweet, tangy, and wonderfully versatile, this classic honey mustard dressing is a perfect balance of bright vinegar, creamy Dijon, and smooth honey. Whisked or shaken together in minutes, it creates a velvety vinaigrette that brings salads to life and pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or fresh greens. Its natural sweetness and gentle acidity make it a crowd-pleaser — simple, wholesome, and full of flavor.
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup pure honey
2 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

Pepper, to taste
METHOD:
In a jar, combine the honey, vinegar, mustard and salt. Screw on the lid, and shake well to combine. Pour in the olive oil, replace the lid and shake until well mixed. Season to taste with pepper and additional salt as needed. Vinaigrette keeps for one to two weeks in the refrigerator.
