Honey Mustard Dressing Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil until the mixture is smooth and completely combined.
  2. Season: Stir in the garlic powder, then season with salt and black pepper according to your taste preferences. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
