This Perfect Honey Mustard Vinaigrette is the way I sell veggie loaded salad to my family! Once they know their salad has this perfectly tangy and sweet dressing they dive right in!
I crave fresh green salads. I like mine loaded with every available veggie. You know, veggies are available all year long now. The only problem is they taste like mush, or something. Nothing tastes like tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots from the garden. Finally, after the long winter, veggies are finally starting to taste okay again. That makes me want nothing more than a big salad. With this Perfect Honey Mustard Vinaigrette, of course!
I have been making a creamy honey mustard dressing for years. I will get around to bringing that recipe to you too! Whenever I go out to eat and order salad, I always get it with Honey Mustard Dressing. Last time it was a Perfect Honey Mustard Vinaigrette. I fell in love!!
Of course I came home and tried to recreate it! This dressing is not exactly the same but equally as tasty! Perfect Honey Mustard Vinaigrette is the perfect thing for dressing up a green salad!

Forgot to pack dressing for my salad today. Used your recipe, had to sub maple syrup for the honey (I was at work, had to improvise), used garlic salt and added oregano. Turned out beautifully!! Love pintrest!!!
Amy Engberson says
Mar-li you must have a great selection of items in your pantry at work! Good for you to pull them all together and make your own dressing! I love creating new recipes from whatever ingredients I have on hand! Desperation leads to inspiration, right?

Dad also always orders honey mustard on his house salad when we go out for dinner. I know he would love this dressing. I will have to make it for him.

This looks great! My husband won’t eat mustard but I love it! I’ll have to halve this recipe and try it. 🙂

I have a few “no mustard” people in my family too! Honey mustard is my favorite though. So I make it anyway, more for me!!
