You know that honey, despite being “natural, ” is pure sugar, right? Make this instead. Tangy Honey Mustard Dressing is a sweet and savory dressing that pairs well with salads, chicken tenders, and more. It’s made with a blend of Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and seasonings like garlic powder, salt, and pepper. The honey adds a touch of sweetness to balance out the tanginess of the mustard, making it a versatile dressing that can be used for a variety of dishes. It’s easy to make at home and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
