If you are looking for a go to salad dressing that beats anything you can buy at the store, this honey vinaigrette is the answer. It uses just a few simple pantry staples to create a bright, tangy flavor that makes your greens taste absolutely delicious.

My favorite thing about this recipe is how the Dijon mustard helps everything stay emulsified. Make sure to add your olive oil slowly while whisking, as this is the secret to getting a smooth, creamy texture every single time.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Grab a medium bowl and combine the honey, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and salt.

  2. 2

    Whisk the mixture well to ensure all the ingredients are fully incorporated.

  3. 3

    Continue whisking while you drizzle in the olive oil one tablespoon at a time.

  4. 4

    Keep whisking until the dressing looks thick and creamy.

  5. 5

    Add a few grinds of black pepper if you like a little extra spice.

  6. 6

    Serve your dressing right away or store it in the refrigerator for later.

💡 Tips

Store this dressing in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Since the olive oil will naturally solidify when chilled, just take the jar out of the fridge about ten minutes before you plan to eat so it can return to a liquid, pourable consistency.
