Healthy Honey Mustard Dressing

There is nothing like creating a simple healthy salad dressing in your own kitchen like this Healthy Honey Mustard Dressing... especially when you can whip this together with one bowl in less than 5 minutes. Salad dressings are one of those things that are just BETTER made at home. Sure, when I'm busy I use the bottled kind, but these are better.

Homemade salad dressings are often made with just a few ingredients, are so much healthier because they don't have any additives, and often have such a better flavor. This one is the perfect example of that having just a fraction of the calories of a classic full-fall bottled Honey Mustard Dressing.

Honey Mustard is one of those salad dressings that doesn't taste quite as fresh to me coming out of a bottle. I love mixing my own with a simple combination of honey, mustard, and greek yogurt to make it creamy. So many salad dressings call for mayonnaise but I love using one of my favorite healthy swaps... greek yogurt! The end result is a luxuriously SMOOTH dressing that is simply irresistible and perfectly light.

What's in the healthy salad dressing?

This healthy salad dressing has just FIVE ingredients for a homemade dressing everyone will rave about. Here's what you will need to make it.

• Honey: You can use any honey but local honey is always wonderful to have on hand!
• Mustard: For my recipe, I used classic dijon mustard to get the grainy appearance and a bit more of a bite. Skip the classic yellow mustard for this recipe.

• Lemon: A touch of fresh lemon adds some brightness and zip that you can't miss.
• Olive Oil: I like to use my favorite high-quality olive oil for homemade salad dressings.
• Salt: Just a touch of salt perfectly balances out the flavors in this dressing.
