common recipe questions
Can I use a different type of oil for this dressing?
Yes, you can use other mild-flavored oils like canola or vegetable oil.
Is there a substitute for honey in this recipe?
You can use maple syrup or agave nectar as substitutes for honey but it will definitely change the flavor.
Can I make this dressing without Dijon mustard?
Dijon mustard is recommended for its flavor, but you can use prepared yellow mustard as an alternative.
Can I add herbs to this dressing?
Yes, you can add herbs like dill, chives, or parsley.
Can I make this dressing in a blender?
Yes, you can combine all ingredients in a blender for a smoother consistency. Just add the oil slowly through the feed tube so it emulsifies.
Can I use lime juice instead of lemon or orange juice?
Yes, lime juice can be used for a slightly different citrus flavor.
How can I make this dressing spicier?
Add a small amount of cayenne pepper or hot sauce for extra flavor.
Can you freeze this recipe?
The texture will change when thawed but you can freeze it keeping that in mind. You may need to process it in a blender after thawed.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Tried this as a dip for chicken fingers. It didn't thicken, it was runny. And tasted greasy. Not a lot of flavour.
You need to whisk in the oil to have it thicken. You can also put the ingredients in a blender and slowly add the oil that way if you're having trouble with it not thickening. If the oil wasn't emulsified properly then it would be more greasy.
A great recipe, I was making it for a salad so I actually cut the oil down to a 1/4 cup, still works great. Its nice to find one without mayo.

Quick and easy to make and very tasty. We also tried agave instead of honey (slight health benefit). You can adjust any of the ingredients to suit your personal tastes but we liked the proportions as written.

Tastes good. Was looking for something more creamy though.
