Notes

Balancing grainy and Dijon mustards can add layers of flavor. Feel free to play around with the ratio until you find your favorite way.
Mustard can have different intensities, so taste your dressing before adding more. You can always stir in more honey for sweetness or add extra lemon juice if you want more tang.
Regular olive oil or extra-virgin olive oil can both work. The stronger the oil flavor, the more it’ll shine through in your dressing.
If you’d like a creamier dressing, whisk in a bit of plain yogurt or sour cream. This is especially delicious if you’re serving it as a dip for chicken nuggets or fresh veggies.
The fresh flavor of real honey is key here. It doesn’t have to be fancy, but avoid heavily processed or artificial honey for the best taste.
This dressing isn’t just for salads. Drizzle it on crispy chicken tenders, spread it on a sandwich, or dip french fries in it. The possibilities are endless!
