Equipment

  • Measuring Spoons and Cups

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey adjust to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1-2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Whisk thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  • Taste the dressing and adjust the sweetness or acidity by adding more honey or vinegar if needed.
  • Stir in the chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, to add a burst of flavor.
  • If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a bit of water or milk and whisk until you reach the desired thickness.

  1. Taste and Adjust: Regularly taste and adjust sweetness, acidity, and seasonings for a balanced flavor.
  2. Emulsify Carefully: Add olive oil slowly while whisking to achieve a smooth, emulsified texture.
  3. Customize Flavors: Experiment with herbs and other ingredients to customize the dressing to your liking.
