Honey Mustard Dressing

“Energy, like the biblical grain of the mustard-seed, will remove mountains.” Hosea Ballou

When did you last choose a different dressing for your salad? How was it?

It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest seed you plant in the ground. (Mark 4:31; NIV)

I’ll stay with various salad dressing recipes for the month of September. Honey mustard dressing is another one of those rather new concoctions similar to raspberry vinaigrette. We’re not sure when they started to arrive on the salad dressing scene but they have quickly become front-runners. I’m finding that people use honey mustard dressing as a dipping sauce as well as a salad dressing.

I’m also learning that there are multitudes of recipes out there. Since the bottled, prepared dressings contain artificial ingredients, preservatives, and various objectionable sweeteners, why not make one in your own kitchen? Making this honey mustard dressing is very simple and takes only minutes to create.

Begin exploring various greens when making a salad. Hopefully, you’re not using iceberg lettuce. It has virtually NO nutrient value at all. Sorry if that’s news to anyone. The darker greens such as romaine lettuce, various field greens, and spinach all contain high amounts of life-giving nutrients. For busy schedules there is now pre-washed organic field greens (or spring mix) available. Our local Sam’s Club carries large containers of organic spring mix and organic spinach for a very reasonable price. That ensures that we have a salad at least once a day since washing and spinning of the lettuce isn’t needed. I also put organic spinach in our smoothies. And no, you can’t taste the spinach.

Having several recipes on hand for great tasting dressings will give new flavor and taste to your salads. May I challenge you to have at least one more salad in this next week?
