Made in just 5 minutes with a blend of Dijon mustard, sweet honey, creamy mayonnaise, and a splash of apple cider vinegar, this versatile recipe balances tangy and sweet flavors perfectly. The addition of olive oil and garlic powder ensures a silky texture and depth of flavor, while a hint of salt and black pepper rounds it all out.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
Add the apple cider vinegar to the mixture and whisk until incorporated to create a tangy base for the dressing.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the dressing and achieve a creamy consistency.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue whisking until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Taste the dressing and adjust the honey, vinegar, or salt to suit your preferences, if needed.
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Shake or stir before serving. Use as a salad dressing, dipping sauce, or sandwich spread. Enjoy!
