After reading the ingredients label on a certain brand of salad dressing, I vouched to never buy that brand ever again! Better yet, I've decided to start making my own dressing. Nothing seems "real" inside that bottled up store bought brand. Does a salad dressing really need both corn syrup and sugar?! And what is potato maltodextrin? Yes, the label says that the dressing is fat-free but I'd rather have fat/oil in my salad dressing than ingest a bunch of stuff that I have trouble pronouncing.
Enough of my complaining and let's get to the part where I tell you about this honey mustard vinaigrette (minus the lab-made chemicals). I had many people asking me where I bought this salad dressing and were pleasantly surprised when I told them that I made it myself -- thanks for believing in me guys :)

As with all recipes, substitutes are allowed and welcomed. If you want this dressing to be less "vinegary", you can always swap the white wine vinegar for apple cider vinegar. Also, add more honey if you would like a sweeter dressing.
Honey Mustard Vinaigrette
Ingredients:
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoon honey mustard
1 1/2 tablespoon honey
Combine all ingredients into a bowl. Whisk vigorously until everything is dissolved. Dressing can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator. Shake or stir before each use. Drizzle over a bed of greens.
*It is normal to see separation in any homemade salad dressings that contain oil. For homemade dressings that have been refrigerated, remove from fridge at least 15 minutes before serving.
