Creating the perfect salad dressing can be likened to an art form. It’s all about balancing flavors that complement a wide array of ingredients. If you’re on the hunt for a versatile and delicious salad dressing that can elevate almost any combination of greens and toppings, this easy-to-make dressing might just be your answer. 

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup of your preferred oil
  • 3 tablespoons of honey
  • 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
  • Juice of a small orange
  • 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl or a mason jar, whisk together the oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, and fresh orange juice. The oil provides a smooth base for the dressing, while the honey balances the vinegar’s acidity with its sweetness. 
  2. Stir in the Dijon mustard until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 
  3. If you’re using a jar, secure the lid and shake vigorously. Alternatively, whisking in a bowl works just as well to achieve the same result.
  4. Drizzle over your favorite salad just before serving. 
  5. This dressing is incredibly versatile, making it the perfect fit for everything from a simple green salad to more complex compositions with fruits, nuts, and cheeses.
