What’s in Honey Dijon Dressing?
This recipe originally came my friend Molly. She credits a friend of hers for the recipe but I credit Molly since she was the one I snatched it from. The ingredients are quite simple. Here’s what you’ll need to have on hand:
- Olive oil or avocado oil
- Honey
- Apple cider vinegar
- Dijon mustard
- Salt
That’s it! Only 5 ingredients!
How to Make Honey Dijon Dressing
Are you ready for this COMPLICATED recipe? I tease. Check out just how easy it is to make this vinaigrette…
How to Serve This Vinaigrette
My favorite salad combo to add this dressing to is red leaf lettuce, apples, Craisins, feta cheese, and toasted almonds. (I didn’t have any feta on hand for the pic below, but it was still delicious!)
This dressing also goes great with spinach-based salads. You could also add some grilled chicken on top for a complete meal.
How to Store Honey Dijon Dressing
After you make this salad dressing, store it in the fridge for up to two weeks. The olive oil will solidify a bit but just set it out at room temperature for 45 minutes or so before you want to use it and it will be back to normal.
You can also freeze it, if you won’t use it up in a few weeks. Place in an airtight container and leave a little headspace at the top for expansion. Freeze for up to 3-6 months!
