HONEY MUSTARD DRESSING

HONEY MUSTARD DRESSING









Honey Mustard Dressing
(Without Using Mayo)

Ingredients:

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder

1/4 teaspoon dried chives (or more to taste)

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Salt and pepper to taste


Directions:

Add all ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Alternatively, add all ingredients to a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake to combine.

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 weeks.


Notes:

Let refrigerated dressing sit out at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving, shaking, or mixing to recombine.

Use for an easy salad dressing, or as a great spicy dipping sauce for chicken or veggies.

I use Grey Poupon, but any good mustard will do. For crying out loud though, don't use the yellow stuff in the plastic squeeze bottle. Have a little dignity.

As usual, since I have access to so many varieties of peppers here (and apparently a high tolerance for scoville units), I use habaƱero powder instead of cayenne. That's just me.

Pro tip: DON'T DISCARD THE OLIVE OIL FROM YOUR JAR OF SUN-DRIED TOMATOES! You bought a jar of sun-dried tomatoes to make Tuscan Chicken and don't know what to do with the oil. It's a danger to your plumbing if you (*shudder*) dump it down the drain, and a terrible waste! Use the olive oil they're packed in for dressings or cooking and get a bonus blast of umami flavor.

Use the highest quality olive you can get (or afford). Avocado oil or grapeseed will do in a pinch though. The better the ingredients, the better the flavor. Wow. Profound. Somebody should write that down. Oh. I guess I just did...
