Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard (or yellow mustard)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, a pinch
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional Add-ins

  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • Paprika, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine the Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together ¼ cup mayonnaise, 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and 3 tablespoons honey until smooth and fully integrated.
  2. Add Vinegar and Oil: Slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar and 2 tablespoons olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify and create a creamy texture.
  3. Season to Taste: Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir in optional ingredients like garlic powder or paprika if desired.
  4. Adjust Consistency: If the dressing feels too thick, whisk in a teaspoon or two of water or additional vinegar to reach your desired pourable consistency.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the dressing for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Give it a quick stir before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality, pure honey for the best flavor.
  • Dijon mustard provides a smoother, gourmet taste; yellow mustard gives a sharper tang.
  • Whisk thoroughly before using, especially after refrigeration, to prevent separation.
  • Adjust sweetness by starting with less honey and adding more to taste.
  • Store dressing in an airtight container in the fridge and use within one week.
  • Freezing is not recommended due to potential texture changes.
