Honey Dijon dressing
A more elegant, grown-up version of 'Honey Mustard'. The piquancy of Dijon mustard and the sweetness of honey are a classic contrasting pair that attract each other in the kitchen. The emulsion (the union of oil and water-based ingredients) is created here mechanically by mixing, resulting in a creamy, mayonnaise-textured dressing without eggs.

Instructions
1
✓
Mix the mustard and honey in a bowl until smooth.
Tip: It's important to mix the thick ingredients first.
2
✓
Add the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix well.
Tip: Salt dissolves in the vinegar/lemon phase, not in oil.
3
✓
While whisking continuously and quickly, drizzle in the olive oil in a thin stream.
Tip: The slower you add the oil and faster you mix, the creamier and whiter the emulsion will be (dispersing oil droplets).
4
✓
Mix until you get a glossy, uniform sauce.
Tip: If not serving immediately, whisk again before serving.
