Honey Mustard - The Best Homemade Dressing

If you're ever in a pinch and want to create a really amazing salad, or just want to mix things up a bit.  Try honey mustard dressing.  Nam nam nam, its amazing.  I learned about how to make this dressing from Sandy, a friend in Australia.  I was hesitant to try it because I don't like mustard.  You don't go to the store to buy it... Make it yourself!  Honey Mustard dressing is so simple and DELICIOUS!  

All you need is:
Honey
Mustard
Olive Oil

To make Honey mustard dressing, you just get a glass or bowl, and add equal parts of honey, olive oil, and mustard.  Mix, then add seasonings and adjust to taste.  The seasonings I added today were salt and a chili lime blend.  But just salt and pepper or paprika also go really well. (As you can see I shop at trader joes :) but you can use which ever brand suits you)

Prepare the salad how ever you like.  I love to put everything I have in the house, but I will always try to put at least 5 things in the salad.  From when I decided to make a salad, to sitting down and eating took me 20 minutes.  And the only reason it took so long is because after I finished making the salad I decided "maybe shrimp would be a good idea".  I pulled out the frozen shrimp and cooked a few pieces.

Today in this salad, I put lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, frozen peas, sunflower seeds, and cooked frozen shrimp (these last three are all good sources of protein).  If I have avocado or guacamole, I will always add avocados! 

Bon Appetit!
