Ingredients and Substitutions

• Sour Cream – I prefer to use full fat sour cream as I find that it has a better flavor and texture. You could use low fat if you prefer, or you could even use plain Greek yogurt in its place.
• Olive Oil – You’ll want to use cold-pressed, organic olive oil for this recipe for best flavor. You could sub another mild oil like grapeseed oil or avocado oil, however.
• Dijon Mustard – Dijon is definitely the ingredient that gives this honey mustard dressing it’s signature flavor. If you want to switch things up try using whole grain or stone ground mustard in its place.
• Honey – Find a local honey with a flavor that you enjoy for this dressing.
• Lemon Juice – Fresh squeezed lemon juice is best, but if you don’t have any hand, give this brand of store bought lemon juice a try. I find that it has the best flavor.
• Fresh Garlic – Freshly minced garlic adds a delicious layer of flavor to this honey mustard dressing. You could use garlic powder in it’s place, but the flavor will be slightly different. I’d recommend just using 1/8 of a teaspoon garlic powder in place of the clove of garlic.

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a mason jar and shake vigorously until dressing is well mixed and emulsified. Add more salt and pepper to taste and serve with your favorite salad.

I highly recommend pairing this honey mustard dressing with my super simple beet and feta salad!

Tip

• This honey Dijon dressing is the perfect drizzle for my favorite roasted beet and feta salad, but if you have some leftover, it’s also delicious as a dip for my crispy baked chicken tenders or my oven baked fries recipe! You’ll want to keep it on hand to add a little something extra to all your favorite meals!
