Salad dressings generally come in two forms – ones where an oil and an acid are shaken together just before serving (think oil and balsamic vinegar), and ones where the oil is emulsified into a creamy texture. Honey mustard is classic emulsion salad dressing – and of course, homemade is best!
My past experiences with honey mustard dressing involved a plastic bottle from a supermarket. I then tried a broccoli, cherry tomato, feta and hazelnut salad from the Avoca cafe in Dublin, Ireland and realised what a real honey mustard dressing could taste like.
Typically, an emulsion needs quite a bit of oil to give you a thick and creamy dressing. I’ve scaled back the oil in this recipe, so it will be a little runnier. If you want a thicker version, just add more oil.
The recipe has been created for the Thermomix, but you can use a stick blender to get the same results.
