Honey mustard dressing means summer to me. Why? I have no idea. Maybe I used to eat it in the summer? Maybe it’s the bright yellow color that reminds me of sunshine? Maybe it’s just because everyone eats more salads in the summer time? This honey mustard dressing is ushering me into spring and summer time. Who’s with me?
I used to be overwhelmed with the thought of creating my own salad dressings. Why would I make my own when I could just buy it? I’m all for purchasing something pre-made if you don’t sacrifice the quality of the food. That’s where it gets a little hairy with salad dressings. Most salad dressings contain bad fats (read about good fats here) and loads of sugar. It’s almost impossible to find a healthy salad dressing on the market and to my knowledge I don’t know of a healthy brand of honey mustard. If you want a good honey mustard you have to make it yourself. Good thing all you need is a blender to make your own honey mustard dressing.
