Notes

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.
