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!
