Asian Honey Mustard Salad Dressing

For a creamier texture, blend the dressing in a food processor or blender.

Adjust the sweetness or tanginess by adding more honey or mustard to taste.

If the dressing is too thick, thin it with a little water or vinegar for a pourable consistency.

The dressing can be used immediately, but for best results, let the dressing sit for an hour or so before using it to allow the flavors to meld together.

For a spicy kick, add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes.

This dressing can also be used as a dipping sauce for appetizers like spring rolls or chicken tenders.

If you're watching your sodium intake, opt for a low-sodium soy sauce.

To make the dressing lighter, you can substitute half of the mayonnaise with plain yogurt.

Always taste and adjust the seasoning of the dressing before serving, as the flavors can change slightly when chilled.

Shake or stir the dressing before each use as the ingredients may separate while stored.
