Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup stone ground mustard (or dijon mustard)
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2/3 cup olive oil (or other oil)
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 shallot (finely minced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
  • 1/8 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/8 tsp ground black pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients (stone ground mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, shallot, garlic, salt and pepper) to a mason jar with a lid. 
  • Close the lid and shake vigorously, until the vinaigrette is fully combined. If you don't have a mason jar, you can ask whisk the vinaigrette in a bowl. 
  • Serve with your favorite salad. Keep leftovers in the refrigerator. Whisk or shake thoroughly before serving leftovers. 

Notes

  • This recipe was written using a coarse stone ground mustard, but you can also use dijon mustard or honey mustard, too. Adjust the honey accordingly. I don't suggest using a regular yellow mustard, the taste is a little too sharp and harsh for my liking.
  • Instead of apple cider vinegar, you can also use white wine vinegar in its place.
  • Other oils work in this recipe in place of olive oil, including avocado oil, safflower oil, and canola oil.
  • Taste the dressing before tossing with your salad and adjust the seasonings. If you want it more tangy, add more apple cider vinegar. If it's too tangy, add a little bit more stone ground mustard or olive oil.
  • When tasting the vinaigrette, remember it's supposed to be full of flavor because your salad is not yet seasoned. Don't taste it alone, instead taste it with a piece of lettuce, cucumber, tomato, etc. to see how it tastes!
