Description
A zesty dressing for salads and more, featuring Dijon mustard and hot honey.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp hot honey (I use Mike’s hot honey)
- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (add more if you like it spicier)
- 1 clove garlic
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- dash black pepper
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Whisk together the Dijon mustard, hot honey, apple cider vinegar, red pepper flakes, grated or minced garlic, and salt + pepper in a mason jar or small bowl.
- Drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil and whisk until it’s emulsified.
- Alternative Option #1: Shake it up – skip the whisk and make this dressing in a mason jar by adding all of the ingredients, securing the lid, and shaking it until everything is well combined.
- Alternative Option #2: Blend it Up – use a food processor or blender instead. Simply add the ingredients until blended (30-60 seconds or until smooth).
- Hint: if you’re using a whisk to make this sauce, the best way to get the oil and other ingredients to emulsify is to drizzle in the olive oil slowly at the end while vigorously whisking it together.
Notes
- Adjust the red pepper flakes to taste for desired spiciness.
- This dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
