If you’re new to the whole make your own salad dressing crowd, don’t feel intimidated, it’s not difficult.  I rather enjoy making my own and storing it in a small little jar, for a couple different reasons.  First, and foremost, it’s preservative free.  You made it, so you know whats in it. Doesn’t it feel good to be in control of what is in your food?  I really like having the options I get by making my own dressings, picking the sweetener of my choice and how much I use.  Store bought dressings have quite a bit of unnecessary sugar in them.  Since the dressing is homemade, you are close to being able to call yourself the domestic engineer of your household. Who would have ever thought, even your mother will be impressed.

With making a smaller quantity, you can go through it faster.  Which means rotating through your dressings quicker.  Therefore the door of your refrigerator isn’t cluttered with an endless supply of half used bottles.  Making as little as half of a recipe or doubling the recipe, anyway you make it you will enjoy every last drop.  Whether you have a magic bullet or Vitamix or blender it’s possible to whip up just about any salad dressing.

 

Honey mustard isn’t just limited to drizzling on your greens. Try it, just a little, over a plateful of green beans or slather it on your next sandwich of avocados, tomatoes and cucumbers. Use it as a dip for your next tray of raw vegetables, or slice some tender strips of chicken for dunking. I’m sure you’ll find a variety of ways to enjoy this honey mustard dressing.  Hey, take some to work and share where you got the recipe so they can make it too!
