    Easy homemade honey mustard dressing recipe

    Happy days if you love eating your greens without the guilt of unhealthy salad dressing. This homemade honey mustard dressing is healthy, full of flavor, and easy to make. It’s a great addition to any salad (leafy or not) or as a dip for vegetable sticks.

    While this recipe uses mustard as a base, you can't just use any type of mustard you like. To get the best flavor, it’s best to use a Dijon mustard (or wholegrain mustard). it is creamy, smooth, and flavorful and will give the dressing the nice creamy texture it deserves.

    If you're looking to make this dressing into a thicker and richer, more succulent dipping sauce, simply add mayonnaise or sour cream until it reaches the desired consistency. Additionally, reduce the amount of vinegar in this recipe or leave it out completely!
