Elevate your salads with the irresistible Columbus Sweet Sour Salad Dressing—a perfect balance of tangy, sweet, and savory flavors that will leave your taste buds singing. This quick and easy homemade dressing combines the natural sweetness of honey with the zesty tang of apple cider vinegar, accented by the smooth richness of olive oil and a hint of Dijon mustard. Minced garlic adds a delightful depth, while optional lemon juice brightens the flavor profile for a refreshing citrus twist. Ready in just 5 minutes, this versatile salad dressing is ideal for drizzling over crisp greens, roasted vegetables, or even as a marinade. With its simple ingredients and luxurious homemade touch, it's a must-have in your kitchen repertoire.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to whisk. This will help emulsify the dressing and create a creamy consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed. If you prefer a touch of citrus brightness, add the optional lemon juice and mix well.
Transfer the dressing into a clean jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid for storage.
Shake well before serving. Drizzle over your favorite salad, toss to coat, and enjoy!
