Why Make Your Own Salad Dressing?

When you make salad dressing at home, you get to decide what goes in, and what stays out. Have you ever wanted to try a new flavor combination in your salad dressing? Maybe you like things on the spicier side and want to add an extra kick. Or maybe you want to experiment with a new flavor combination?

Tools & Ingredients to make this salad dressing

What’s in This Honey Mustard Dressing?

This honey mustard is a tasty dressing that will make your salad extra delicious. Here’s what’s in it:

• honey
• mustard
• olive oil (or avocado oil)
• salt

What’s out?

You won’t find any refined oils or preservatives in this homemade salad dressing. But you will in the store bought stuff. If you look on the back of store bought salad dressing, you’ll likely find some of these ingredients (maybe all of them) in the list of ingredients.

• soybean oil, vegetable oil, or canola oil
• sugar, high fructose corn syrup, or corn syrup
• modified food starch
• preservatives

More Reasons

When you have honey, mustard, and olive oil in your cupboard (you probably do), you can make this honey mustard salad dressing faster than you can pick it out at the store.

It’s also WAY cheaper to make salad dressing at home than it is to buy a bottle at the store. And if you’re anything like me, you don’t like wasting money. I recently enrolled in an awesome online course to help me trim the costs in our grocery budget even more. And let me tell you…it’s been AWESOME. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Check it out here and see if it’s right for you.

And if you still need another reason to make your own salad dressing…consider the environment! When you make this salad dressing at home, you won’t have another empty plastic bottle to throw away or recycle. Just use a mason jar and store it in your fridge.

How to make Honey Mustard Salad Dressing

I like to mix it and store it in the same container. So if you’re using a mason jar to store it, get it out now. Mix the honey and mustard. Then mix in the olive oil (you can use avocado oil if you’d rather, although I wouldn’t recommend vegetable oil or canola oil).

This recipe will make about one cup of salad dressing. The perfect amount to store in half-pint mason jars. We love these jars for condiments. If you prefer wide mouth, these are the way to go.

Where to use it?

Now that you have a bottle of delicious homemade honey mustard salad dressing, you get to use it! Obviously you can use it on any salad (I particularly like the honey mustard and apple flavor combination). You can also use it as a sauce for roasted veggies (like these brussels sprouts) or a dipping sauce for raw veggies at your next party.
