Honey Dijon Dressing

By [e-mail]

From Detoxinista! This dressing can be made with honey or dates, and both versions are delicious. If you prefer using dates as a sweetener, for an extra-boost of fiber, use 2-3 dates plus an additional 1/4 cup of water. For those of you who need to avoid all sugars, use liquid stevia to your taste.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup stone-ground or Dijon mustard
• 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 tablespoon minced ginger (about 1-inch, peeled)
• 2 Tablespoons honey*
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1/4 cup water, or more for thinning

Preparation

Step 1

In a high-speed blender, combine all of the ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust the flavors to taste, and add more water if a thinner dressing is desired.

Serve immediately, and store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week. (Dressing will thicken a bit when chilled.)
