Mustard dressing

We eat a lot of salads at our house and so as not to get bored I have a lot of different dressings that I use. This is one of them!

Ingredients;


3 tbsp honey
1 tsp dijon mustard (or more, I not to exact when making dressing)
salt/pepper
white vinegar (white wine, white balsamic, apple vinegar or whatever white vinegar you fancy)
olive oil (I don't use expensive oil when I make a dressing like this)


First I add the honey, dijon, salt/pepper and vinegar to a bowl and whisk until combined. Taste the mix to make sure it has the right balance of sweet and sour and enough salt/pepper.





When that is done add the olive oil a little bit at a time while whisking continuously. After a while the dressing will thicken and get a more dressing like texture. Thats when you start to taste to see when you have added enough oil. This is all about preference, some use a little bit more, some less. The important thing to remember is that the dressing is not done, and it is not enough oil until it thickens. This might sound strange but you will notice....





You can also use this recipe to make a balsamic dressing, just use balsamic vinegar instead of white. You can also add garlic, herbs etc. to make it even more interesting.

Yumm!
