Elevate your salads and marinades with the bold, balanced flavors of Honey and Garlic Dressing 2. This quick and easy homemade dressing combines the natural sweetness of honey with the savory punch of finely minced garlic, enhanced by rich olive oil and the tangy zest of apple cider vinegar. A touch of Dijon mustard adds depth, while a sprinkle of optional red pepper flakes delivers a gentle kick for spice lovers. Ready in just 10 minutes, this versatile dressing is perfect for drizzling over leafy greens, roasted vegetables, or even grilled meats. Make a batch ahead of time—it keeps well in the fridge for up to a week, making healthy, flavor-packed meals a breeze.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. For a smoother dressing, you can also grate the garlic.
In a small mixing bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the honey, minced garlic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard.
Add the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the bowl or jar.
If using a bowl, whisk the mixture vigorously until it becomes smooth and emulsified. If using a jar, seal the lid tightly and shake well for about 30-60 seconds until all ingredients are combined.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey for your desired flavor.
Use immediately, or store in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to one week. Shake or stir before serving if the ingredients separate.
