A simple green salad can be an accompaniment to a wide variety of dishes or a complete meal when served with avocado or a baked sweet potato on the side.
This has to be one of my all-time favorite salad dressings! It will keep for at least one week in the fridge.
Green Salad with Honey Mustard Balsamic Dressing
Serves 2 as a main dish or 4-6 as a side.

Put dressing ingredients in a small bowl and mix well until combined. Add the desired amount of dressing to salad ingredients and toss well. Serve immediately.

Perfect timing! I’ve been a bit sad at the end of summer here with the fruits starting to dwindle. I have greens now growing in the garden and I’ve been looking for a dressing to use. The mustard ingredient caught my eye because my neighbor is growing it in her garden and I found how delicious it truly is! Arugula is already one of favorites. Thank you for the recipe. I will be making it soon.
This is a very satisfying dressing. Couldn’t tell if it was the honey or the mustard taste that I liked best. Thanks for the recipe(s), Mizpah!
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
