Salad is a lunchtime mainstay.
Now that I have fresh, organic produce
directly from the farmer,
it's eaten with relish and delight.
A simple vinagrette is all that is needed
to enjoy a healthful and tasty meal.
Increasing my choices is a personal goal.
Getting into a cooking rut is not where I wanna be,
so even a slight change in diet can be rewarding.
This recipe was acquired at An Oregon Cottage
Jami included several other salad dressing recipes
that I'd like to try.
It was just a bit sweeter than I like,
so I will decrease the honey a smidge next time.
Still, with a minimum of ingredients,
it brings out the flavors in a green salad quite nicely.
It's also great as a sandwich spread
or on chicken or fish.

Honey Mustard Dressing
1/4 C honey (or less)
1/4 C Dijon
1 clove garlic, minced
2 T lemon juice
1/3 C apple cider vinegar
3/4 C olive oil
1/4 t salt (or to taste)
Combine all ingredients except the olive oil and salt
in a food processor.
Blend until mixed, about 30 seconds.
With motor running, add the olive oil in a slow stream,
blending until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
Taste and add salt if desired.
Makes about 1-1/2 cups
Enjoy!

Yummy! My favorite is a simple lemon vinaigrette - just lemon, olive oil, salt & pepper. But I do use it so often that I may be getting in a salad rut myself. Will have to try out your dressing recipes :) Have a wonderful Easter weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you'll be so happy you tried something new. Just a little change can get those creative juices stirring!
DeleteEnjoy your holiday!
This looks and sounds delicious! I just love salads - could eat them every day. I can't eat store bought dressings anymore.....just don't taste the same. Thanks for sharing this. I will use it on tonight's salad!
ReplyDeleteI'm blessed to enjoy a salad each day with lunch. I hope you enjoy some of Jami's dressings! Store bought? No way! ;0)
