Now is the time to get your homemade salad dressing skills up to date! With spring flowers and gardens starting everywhere, salads will be on the table more often. This Honey Mustard Vinaigrette is one that you will enjoy time and time again...
A salad is the perfect way to get a portion of the suggested five servings of vegetables each and every day.
And a fresh salad with Honey Mustard Vinaigrette is certainly a delicious way to get some of those vegetables! When making a salad, look beyond lettuce and include the tender green tops from beets, radishes, and kale as well as other assorted vegetables for an impromptu bowl of tossed greens. Once the vegetables have been prepared, it's time to concentrate on the other part of the salad. The dressing!
This Honey Mustard Vinaigrette is very easy to make, calling for basic pantry ingredients, and it is as delicious as it is easy to make. One of the simplest ways to enjoy Honey Mustard Vinaigrette is to drizzle it over a platter of sliced tomatoes! Simple pleasures are really the best, especially on any busy day.
Please note, our recipe for Honey Mustard Vinaigrette is not as sweet as a commercially prepared dressing, so if you prefer that level of sweetness, we have an easy fix, just add a bit more honey.
This salad dressing surprised me.
I was surprised at how much I liked this salad dressing. I never purchased or cared for commercially prepared Honey Mustard Salad Dressings in the past. They always seemed heavy and way too sweet. When I came across this recipe, honestly, I was a bit reluctant to try it. But I am glad we did. It is one salad dressing we turn to time and time again. The flavor is great on just about anything from sliced tomatoes and cucumbers to a big bowl of tossed greens.
Since Honey Mustard Vinaigrette has become a favorite around here, it seems that being open to new ideas is a pretty good idea in itself! And one last thought, don’t leave out the soy sauce, because it is the easiest way to add “salt” to homemade salad dressing! Why? Because it is all ready dissolved...
Ingredients needed for this recipe:
- vegetable oil
- red wine vinegar
- soy sauce
- honey
- yellow ballpark mustard
- Dijon mustard
You will also need the following:
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
- storage container with a tight-fitting lid
Now we are ready to begin!

I wonder how changing the oil to olive or canola would change the taste? And changing the vinegar would also alter the taste. I've never had avocado oil, but Jimmy loves honey mustard dressing, so I can fiddle with your recipe to see which one works best for us. Thanks, Melynda!
ReplyDeleteNickie, it should be just fine. While the flavor is not overpowering, the honey mustard combination is assertive enough to go with your oil of choice. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it!
DeleteYUM, my hubby would like this! Thanks so much for linking up with me at the Unlimited Link Party 25. Pinned!
ReplyDeleteIt is an easy favorite around here, thanks for stopping by.
DeleteHomemade dressing is so much better than store bought. This sounds like one we'd like.
ReplyDeleteI like it better than the store bought, which for me is too sweet.
DeleteWe don't often make our own dressings. I am not sure why as it isn't really that hard to do!
ReplyDeleteThey aren't hard, plus you know what the ingredients are.
DeleteYum! I love good salad dressing, but haven't come up with a Honey Mustard that I like. I'll be trying your recipe.
