Honey – Mustard Salad Dressing Recipe

by

This salad dressing is very easy and very tasty! There are a couple of ways of making it if you are not a fan of olive oil as an ingredient. Those variations are included next to the ingredient. This recipe could be used for such diets as the elimination diet, the Mediterranean diet, and the paleo diet; to name a few. I adapted this recipe from a recipe from “Paleo takes 5 or fewer” by Sexton.

Honey-Mustard Dressing

  • ¼ cup Extra light olive oil (or coconut milk)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and Pepper

Combine all ingredients, mixing well, until one cohesive combination. Chill and enjoy!
