Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream.
Using a whisk, beat the cream gently until it thickens slightly but is still pourable, about 2-3 minutes. Take care not to over-whip.
Add the lemon juice, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey to the bowl. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Stir in the minced fresh chives, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed to your preference.
Transfer the dressing to a serving container or jar. Let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Drizzle generously over a bowl of fresh salad greens right before serving. Toss lightly to coat the greens evenly.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before using as the dressing may separate slightly.
