A simple and delicious honey-mustard salad dressing that combines the richness of extra-virgin olive oil with tangy rice vinegar, sweet honey, and sharp stone-ground mustard. Perfect for drizzling over your favorite salads or as a flavorful marinade.

Ingredients

Salad Dressing Ingredients

  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • ⅓ cup rice vinegar
  • ½ small shallot, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, rice vinegar, chopped shallot, stone-ground mustard, honey, sea salt, and black pepper until the mixture is fully emulsified, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. Alternative Blending Method: Alternatively, place all ingredients in the base of a blender or food processor and blend on medium speed until creamy and smooth, approximately 2 to 4 minutes.
  3. Store Prepared Dressing: Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate. The dressing will keep fresh for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • For a smoother dressing, use the blender or food processor method.
  • Adjust honey for desired sweetness.
  • Use stone-ground mustard for texture and flavor complexity.
  • Shake or whisk before each use, as ingredients may separate over time.
  • Perfect as a salad dressing or marinade for chicken and vegetables.
