You all know how salad obsessed I am – I love it! I can, and do, eat one a day, even when it is snowing. The weather doesn’t put me off having a delicious salad. A lot of people tell me that they get bored with salads, and I personally think that comes down to not trying different salad dressings.
It can be difficult to know what salad dressings to use, because it is dressings that usually make salads unhealthy. But anything you make at home is ultimately going to be better than anything you can buy. Even just a squeeze of lemon or lime juice on a salad can transform it. But if you are looking for something a bit more exciting, and something to serve to guests at a BBQ, then this is the salad dressings for that. It has the tang from the vinegar, the mustard gives is a creamy consistency and the honey adds a touch of sweetness – the perfect balance I think.
You could even make a creamy version of this by adding some yoghurt.
Ingredients – Serves 4:
– 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
– 6 tbsp cider vinegar
– 2 garlic cloves, crushed
– 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
– 1 tbsp honey
– A pinch of sea salt and black pepper
1) Whisk the ingredients together in a bowl and put in the fridge for at least 30 minute. Whisk again before serving.

My boyfriend were just talking about how his same salad everyday with no dressing is boring (he doesn’t think so) and then making our own salad dressings by using lemons or limes. I love this recipe and I think I will try it with the leftover greek yogurt I have from another recipe. Thanks!

This sounds yummy.

Honey and mustard is my favourite dressing. The ones I always have in restaurants are always creamy and I know they must be terrible for me.
