Dairy-Free Honey Dijon Dressing
Prep time
Total time
This is a tangy, full-flavor version of Honey Dijon that's light and free of funny business. It's adapted from my Sweet Dijon Dressing in Eat Dairy Free: The Everyday Cookbook. The flavor is bold and tangy, but you can mellow it with one of the options below, if preferred.
