Homemade Vinaigrette

Making your own homemade salad dressing is a great way to spruce up any salad! The possibilities are endless, but this mustard vinaigrette is one of my favorites. It has definitely become my go-to dressing if I don't have any store bought dressing on hand. This recipe comes from The Talking Kitchen's blog, which I love!

Homemade Mustard Viniagrette

Servings: 2

Size:  2 Tbsp

Points Plus: 4 pts

Level of Difficulty:  Easy

Prep Time: 3 minutes

Cook Time:  n/a

Rating: 4 stars - Very good

 

Ingredient List:
1 tps. Dijon mustard

½ tsp. honey

1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar

1 Tbsp. olive oil

Salt and Pepper

Directions:

I typically make my dressing in a Pyrex measuring cup since it's easy to mix in. Combine the mustard and honey first, stirring with a small whisk. Add in the vinegar, salt and pepper next. Finally add in the olive oil, whisking while you add it to make sure it is fully mixed. Drizzle your dressing over the salad; gently toss to evenly coat. 

Note: The original recipe calls for two types of mustard - ½ tsp. each of whole grain and Dijon mustard. I prefer it with just Dijon as it makes a bit smoother dressing. However, the whole grain mustard adds another kick of flavor if you are interested. 

Tip:

This is a great make ahead recipe. Mix it up, put it in your fridge and throw on the salad right before dinner to prevent droopy saturated salad.
