Some of my favorite recipes are the ones I make so often I barely think about them anymore. This simple salad dressing is one of those recipes.
It comes together in less than a minute with a few pantry staples I almost always have on hand, and it works with nearly any salad combination. I usually make a single serving at a time directly in a small bowl, but you can easily double or triple it for a larger salad.
If you make homemade dressings often, having a good lemon squeezer, mixing bowl, or small glass jar nearby makes it even easier to throw together quickly.
Easy Everyday Salad Dressing
A quick homemade salad dressing made with simple pantry staples like Dijon mustard, olive oil, honey, and fresh lemon juice. This easy dressing comes together in under a minute and works with almost any salad combination.
Equipment
- Small mixing bowl or jar
- Spoon or small whisk
- Lemon squeezer (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 –2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Optional: 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Add everything to a small bowl or jar and mix until smooth and combined. Pour over your salad and toss well.
Notes
- This recipe makes enough for a single serving salad. Double or triple it for larger salads.
- I usually salt the salad itself instead of the dressing, but you can add salt and pepper directly to the dressing if preferred.
- For a creamier version, add a spoonful of plain yogurt.
- Add a small splash of sesame oil or coconut aminos for a different flavor profile.
- Adjust the Dijon or lemon depending on how tangy you like your dressing.
