Healthy Honey Mustard Dressing - With A Twist
Recipe: Healthy Honey Mustard Dressing
This is not my photo, but looks similar to what I made. I forgot to take a picture before eating it... oops!Today for lunch I had a craving for a salad with honey mustard. Unfortunately all I had in my refrigerator was Italian dressing. Bummer. So I looked up a recipe for homemade dressings... and I didn't have all the ingredients for any of the ones I found. Double bummer. At this point I probably should've gone grocery shopping, but you know what they say about shopping on an empty stomach. So instead I decided to get creative. I used a couple different recipes as inspiration and ended up creating something healthy and yet still delicious. It starts out pretty simple, but be prepared for a bit of a strange twist. I hope you'll like it as much as I did.
Ingredients:(Serving size: 1 large salad or 2 side salads)1/4 cup plain greek yogurt1 Tbsp yellow mustard1 Tbsp honey1/2 Tbsp pineapple juice (It sounds weird, but it was delish. Trust me.)1 tsp Jane's Krazy Mixed Up Salt (or a dash of salt, pepper, and garlic powder separately)The Steps:Mix all ingredients in a small bowl.Cover and chill for 5 minutes or however long it takes for you to throw together your salad.Drizzle over salad and toss well.Eat and enjoy!That's it. It was so simple to make, and I was able to use common household ingredients that are used for many other things as well (at least for me). Of course you can substitute lemon juice instead of pineapple, but then you would probably need more honey to make it sweeter. I literally used the last tablespoon of honey I had, so lemon juice would've been too sour for my recipe.
Thanks for reading! If you liked that, check out my Green Chile Cobb Salad or Spicy Pineapple Fried Rice! Let me know what you think in the comments. Happy Summer!
