Tyler's Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette

This honey balsamic vinaigrette is our “store dressing.” I like the way the honey balances out the acidity of the vinegar and the lemon juice. The addition of water reduces the fat and calories, and the mustard serves as a natural emulsifier, slowing down oil separation. It’s a delicious dressing, and I especially like that it does not contain the additives and chemicals that many commercial dressings contain.

This recipe makes 1/4 cup dressing – enough to dress a 5oz bag of salad greens, so either 2 or 4 servings, depending on how big you want your salad.
