Mustard Honey Dressing
In this section, there will be two whole options for honey mustard salad dressing. The first of them is universal, in which you can notice an excellent combination of acute mustard with other components. Do not forget that mustard combines very well with herbs, which can be a good option for marinade.
Pass one clove of garlic through the press, you can just chop it with a knife. Pour two teaspoons of white wine vinegar, the same amount of grain mustard, two tablespoons of liquid honey and olive oil into the resulting slurry. After all the ingredients are well mixed together, add salt and pepper to your taste.
Another honey dressing option:

Universal sauce
In this section we will tell you how to prepare a delicious dressing for a Greek salad with mustard powder (can be replaced with ordinary mustard). This sauce is very easy to make, which makes it quite popular. Nevertheless, it is not inferior in taste to other gas stations.
So, for its preparation, we need to measure and pour twenty milliliters of pure water into a saucepan. It is better to use dishes with a double bottom, so the sauce will stick less to the bottom and heat evenly. We put the pan on the fire. Immediately add one tablespoon of ordinary granulated sugar. Now we need to make sweet syrup. Constantly stirring, bring the water to a boil. As soon as boiling bubbles begin to form on the surface, pour the syrup into a plate and cool it.
If you use mustard powder, then it must be introduced into warm syrup so that it dissolves. We will act differently, because real mustard has a more pleasant and rich taste. We wait for the syrup to cool and introduce two tablespoons of mayonnaise and the same amount of mustard into it. All this mix well. The sauce is ready, it remains only to fill the salad.
French version
Many mistakenly believe that mayonnaise is a traditional salad dressing among the French. We hasten to upset you, because this is not so. The French most often use honey, vegetable oil and lime or lemon juice to make the sauce. The sauce recipe in this section is ideal for any vegetable salad.
But now we will tell you how to make mustard salad dressing in the French style using mustard. This option is slightly sharper than the traditional French dressing, because in the composition we can find mustard and garlic.

- half a teaspoon of mustard;
- a small clove of garlic;
- any greens (parsley and dill are better).
We start cooking by dissolving honey in lemon juice. Mix the two components very well until smooth. Only after this can you add mustard and vegetable oil. Again, mix everything well, add chopped garlic (it is better to pass it through the press, for lack of such an opportunity, just chop finely) and finely chopped greens. Please note that the gas station needs a little insistence, five to ten minutes will be enough. Now season the salad.

At this stage, you can add any spices to your taste, do not forget about salt and pepper.

We need to make garlic paste with salt. To do this, grind a clove of garlic with the addition of a teaspoon of salt. In the resulting slurry, add tsp. mustard, raw yolk of one chicken egg and a tablespoon of lemon juice. All this is thoroughly mixed until smooth. We measure out one teaspoon of red wine vinegar and add to the mixture, mix.
