Why settle for store-bought when you can effortlessly craft your own sensational dressings at home? As a dedicated dietitian, I revel in the freshness and ingredient control that comes with making homemade dressings.

If you’re passionate about nutritious salads, having a variety of dressing recipes on hand is a game-changer. Currently, my top picks are the classic Balsamic Vinegar Dressing for its rich tanginess that pairs flawlessly with greens. Then, there’s the creamy Avocado Cilantro Lime Dressing, which adds a luxurious texture to salads. And for those seeking a plant-based option, the Vegan Ranch is a go-to—the creamy goodness satisfies every time.

Amidst this collection of dressing treasures, I’m particularly excited today to spotlight one of my enduring favourites—the simple yet divine honey Dijon mustard dressing. A cherished recipe that’s captured my palate, it’s time to give this star salad dressing its moment in the spotlight with its dedicated post.
