Tips and Notes

  • Honey: Use pure honey for the best flavor. Adjust the amount of honey to taste, depending on your preference for sweetness.
  • Mustard: Choose a mustard variety that suits your taste—yellow mustard for a milder flavor or Dijon mustard for a sharper bite.
  • Consistency: For a thicker dressing, add less liquid or more mustard. For a lighter consistency, whisk in additional vinegar or a splash of water.
  • Storage: Store leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake or stir before using to ensure it is well-mixed.
