Elevate your salads and marinades with this quick and easy Gluten-Free Dijon Dressing, a flavorful blend that's ready in just 5 minutes! Made with certified gluten-free Dijon mustard, tangy apple cider vinegar, and a touch of honey for natural sweetness, this homemade dressing is perfectly balanced with a hint of zesty lemon juice and freshly minced garlic. Its silky, emulsified texture comes from high-quality extra virgin olive oil, whisked to perfection for a creamy finish. This versatile dressing can be customized by adjusting the seasoning or thinning it with water to meet your preference. Whether drizzled over crisp greens or used as a marinade for your favorite proteins, this gluten-free dressing pairs simplicity with gourmet flavor and is guaranteed to become a staple in your fridge.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
While continuing to whisk, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. This will help emulsify the dressing and create a creamy consistency.
If the dressing is too thick for your liking, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, pepper, honey, or lemon juice.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container for storage. Shake before each use as natural separation may occur.
Use immediately for salads or as a marinade, or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
