An easy honey mustard dressing for salads. It’s sweet, with a bit of a tang and a touch of Dijon mustard flavour.
Simply add the 4 store-cupboard ingredients to a jar, along with a pinch of salt and pepper, shake and serve.
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.
