Honey Mustard Dressing Recipe Ingredients

Ready to make this honey mustard dressing recipe? Here’s what you’ll need:

• Honey - It gives the dressing a touch of sweetness and classic honey-mustard flavor.
• Apple cider vinegar - For tang! Fresh lemon juice will work here too.
• Garlic - It adds sharp depth of flavor.
• Extra-virgin olive oil - It gives the dressing body and richness.
• And salt and pepper - To make all the flavors pop!

Combine the honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, vinegar, and oil in a small bowl, and whisk to combine. When the dressing is smooth, season to taste. Enjoy!
