Honey mustard dressing is a delicious and versatile condiment that combines the sweet and rich flavors of honey with the tanginess of mustard. It can be used as a salad dressing, a dipping sauce for chicken tenders or vegetables, or a marinade for grilled meats. Here's a simple recipe for homemade honey mustard dressing:
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
-
In a bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
-
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to whisk the mixture. This helps emulsify the dressing and gives it a smooth consistency.
-
Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the sweetness or tanginess by adding more honey or vinegar if desired.
-
Taste the dressing and adjust the flavors according to your preference. You can also add a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of lemon juice for extra flavor.
-
Once the dressing is well-balanced and has a smooth texture, transfer it to a jar or airtight container for storage.
-
Refrigerate the honey mustard dressing for at least 30 minutes before using to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the honey mustard dressing over your favorite salads, as a dipping sauce, or as a marinade for grilled chicken or pork. Enjoy!
