BYSara and I have been blogging for almost 10 years now. That’s a long time, y’all. I was talking to a friend who had been dating someone for about that long and told them that was, like, dating, a marriage, a kid or two, and a divorce. So you’d think we would have a Honey Mustard Vinaigrette or dressing. I searched the archives, y’all. We don’t.
So. Since yesterday was a day of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (in the best of circumstances) and generic jawbreakers (the worst) and everything in between, I figured a few of you might be jonesing for a salad. Plus, this makes a fantastic marinade, is like a match made in heaven for ham, is dying to be drizzled over roasted baby potatoes or Brussels sprouts, and is an all-around fantastic thing to have in your back pocket for Thanksgiving season.
This recipe is so easy. Just a few ingredients, just a few minutes. The dressing is fairly thin, but if you prefer a creamier dressing, feel free to whisk in a little mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt. Otherwise, you’ll need equal parts mild coarse grain or Creole mustard, extra-virgin olive oil, honey, and organic apple cider vinegar (like Bragg’s…the organic isn’t is as important as the “mother,” which makes it murky and flavorful.) You’ll also need a couple cloves of garlic, plus salt and pepper to taste.
In the jar of a blender, combine the mustard, vinegar, honey, and garlic
and blend until smooth. While the blender is running, add the oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a thicker dressing, add a little mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt until the desired consistency is reached.

This looks so yummy! We don’t have any salad dressing in the house right now, so we’ll have to make this to keep in the fridge!
