This recipe creates a quick and versatile honey mustard dressing using just three key ingredients: honey, Dijon mustard, and rice wine vinegar. Perfect as a salad dressing or a flavorful dip, it comes together in minutes with minimal effort.
For optimal emulsification, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. The quality of honey and Dijon mustard significantly impacts the final flavor; consider experimenting with different varietals of honey (like wildflower or clover) or specialty mustards for unique profiles. If the dressing is too thick, a tiny splash of warm water or additional rice wine vinegar can adjust consistency. For an added layer of complexity, a pinch of finely ground white pepper or a whisper of garlic powder can elevate the dressing. This dressing is versatile; while excellent on salads, it also shines as a dip for roasted vegetables or grilled chicken. Vigorously whisk until completely smooth for a homogenous dressing.
