My go-to recipe for a quick salad dressing that works on all kinds of salads.

📋 What do we need?

**Full recipe with detailed steps in the recipe card at the end of this post.**

• Olive oil for the base of the dressing - this will help the dressing coat the salad leaves.
  You can use regular or extra virgin, depending on what flavour you prefer. Regular olive oil tends to have a more of a neutral flavour, whereas extra virgin often has a more complex, grassier flavour. If you want the flavour of the honey and mustard to really shine, i'd recommend going with regular olive oil.
• White wine vinegar for a little bit of tanginess - and to cut through the sweetness of the honey
• Honey for that lovely sweetness that complements mustard so well
• Dijon mustard - Dijon has a milder taste than English mustard, with no heat, but you replace with English mustard if you prefer. If you do, add a little at a time until you get the flavour you want, as it can be a little over-powering.
  If you wanted to pep up your dressing even more, you can add in a teaspoon of wholegrain mustard as well as the Dijon mustard.
• Salt and pepper - just go with a pinch of each at first, but add a little more if you think it needs it.

✎ Notes

Can I make it ahead?

Yes - make the dressing and store in an airtight jar. Store at room temperature for up to a day, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Take out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving, to allow it to come up to room temperature, and give the jar a shake before serving.
