Honey Mustard Dressing - Keeping it Simple

[Jamberie]

This. Is. So. Yum.
I think everyone should make it.

I forgot to read the recipe and just put all the ingredients in the  before realising that there were steps. I just cooked everything for three minutes 100^oC, checked if the sugar had dissolved and gave it another minute or so. I also didn't have seeded mustard so used Dijon mustard instead. I can only imagine how yummy this would be if I followed the directions more closely.

Poured it over a salad (baby beetroot, baby spinach, smoked chicken, walnuts, red onion) and went back for more

It made enough to warrant the (5 minutes) effort in making it, but it won't last too long here as it is just so yummy. Thank you Tenina! If anyone has any ideas on if/how this could be preserved, it would make a very special gift/food hamper item.

Sounds delicious Jam. Off to check recipe. Think I will try it tomorrow.

When I read this one I did wonder how long it would last in the fridge - I'm a bit pedantic about things like this and have thrown out numerous items just because I wasn't sure - like my pomegranate molasses

I possibly wouldn't have thought about making this without the review, so a big thank you.

Judy I found my Pomegranite molasses in the fridge the other day when I was making Tenina's Beetroot salad. It had crystallised a bit but I heated it slightly in the microwave. I think anything with lots of sugar in keeps fairly well.

I just wish we had more directives as to how long some of these dressings last Cookie, even mayonnaise I'm afraid to keep it too long and it lasts quite a while for me now.  I've taken to buying small jars because I know they will last for ages but I certainly prefer making my own.

Made this and it didn't disappoint. Great easy dressing that is better than some of the bottled balsamic dressings you can buy. It makes a large amount but I think it will keep well in the fridge. Not really anything in it to go off. Served it last night over a simple garden salad. Today I used it on a salad I had seen on Facebook called Avocado strawberry spinach salad with poppyseed dressing.


I didn't really follow quantities, just made up what I thought looked enough for us. Basically I mixed some of the honey mustard dressing with a little water to thin it down a bit and added some poppyseeds. I poured this over spinach leaves, chopped avocado, sliced strawberries, some sliced spring onions, toasted flaked almonds and some grated Parmesan (didn't have blue cheese). Was very delicious. Love this dressing. Will be a regular in our fridge.
