Honey Mustard Salad Dressing

As you know, I'm a big fan of homemade salad dressings.

Why buy bottled processed salad dressings when it takes mere minutes, and ingredients usually on hand, to make your own dressing with fresh, clean, unprocessed ingredients? My thoughts precisely.

This easy honey whole grain mustard recipe is not just for your salad but is delicious as a dipping sauce for vegetables, a marinade for chicken or fish or even as a dressing for your favorite pasta salad.
