The simple ingredients you’ll need
In addition to the obvious core ingredients of balsamic vinegar and olive oil, there are 2 more ingredients that make this dressing creamy, balanced and add so much flavor:
How to make creamy honey balsamic mustard dressing
- To a clean bowl or measuring cup, add the balsamic vinegar along with the honey and mustard.
- Whisk together and then slowly whisk in olive oil until creamy.
- Add salt and pepper and whisk again.
All the places that need honey balsamic dressing
Oh and are there many! Let’s put a quick list together:
Chicken sandwiches. A grilled chicken sandwich deserves a drizzle of dressing, right?
Pizza. A quick dunk of a crispy pizza crust into some honey balsamic could become a habit.
Veggies. How ’bout a little sprinkle of sweet balsamic over sauteed veggies like sauteed broccolini or garlicky spinach? Or as a tangy dip for crispy eggplant fries. So good!
Storage and Freezer Suggestions
Store in a salad dressing container or glass mason jar for up to 2 weeks (it never lasts that long in my house!)
To freeze, pour the dressing into a small freezer safe bag and freeze standing up until solid. Then you can lay them down and put a bunch together in a larger freezer bag.
