Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup mayonnaise room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • Medium bowl To whisk and combine dressing ingredients
  • Whisk To blend dressing smoothly

Method
 

  1. Whisk mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a medium bowl for 30 seconds, until smooth and fully blended with no streaks.
  2. Drizzle in honey while whisking steadily until the dressing thickens slightly and develops a glossy sheen.
  3. Add apple cider vinegar and fresh lemon juice in small splashes, whisking after each addition, until the dressing reaches a pourable consistency.
  4. Season with salt, then taste and adjust by adding more honey for sweetness or lemon juice for brightness.
  5. Transfer dressing to a jar, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let flavors meld and texture firm up before serving.

Notes

Whisk mayonnaise and Dijon mustard first to ensure a stable emulsion and prevent the dressing from separating.
