Equipment

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup light mayonnaise or plain greek yogurt
  • ⅓ cup creamed honey (or regular honey)
  • ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ½ tablespoon ground yellow mustard (adjust up to 1 full tablespoon according to to level of kick desired)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a blender or medium size bowl. Blend or whisk until consistency is smooth and creamy.

Notes

Storage:
Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Substitutions:
  • Greek Yogurt: This recipe can be made with plain yogurt or plain greek yogurt instead of mayonaise. We like it either way!
  • Honey: Creamed honey is smooth and spreadable. It contributes to an extra creamy consistency that you won't want to miss out on, but can sometimes be difficult to find. Regular honey can be used when creamed honey is not available. It will however result in a less-creamy consistency.
  • Mustard: Ground yellow mustard can be substituted with Dijon mustard. Just keep in mind that this will change the overall flavor of the dressing.
