Honey Mustard Salad Dressing
A bright, balanced dressing that comes together in minutes. The dijon adds depth and emulsifies the oil and acid into a smooth, cohesive pour, while honey rounds out the sharpness. Adjust the ratio to your taste, more lemon for tang, more honey for sweetness, and you'll never reach for a store-bought bottle again.

01
Mix the dressing
Combine the oil, dijon, honey, lemon juice (or vinegar), and salt in a bowl or jar. The amounts are entirely to taste — start with a small pour of each and adjust from there.

Taste and balance
Give it a taste and tune it to your preference. More lemon or vinegar for sourness, more honey for sweetness, more mustard for bite, more oil to mellow it out.
Dijon isn't just for flavor, it acts as an emulsifier, helping the oil and acid bind together into a smooth, cohesive dressing rather than separating. Shake or whisk just before serving if it sits.
