In a medium-sized bowl, add the Dijon mustard and honey. Mix them together thoroughly until well combined.
Slowly whisk in the apple cider vinegar and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and emulsified.
Gradually add in the extra-virgin olive oil while continuously whisking to create a smooth, thick dressing.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until all the spices are fully incorporated into the mixture.
If the dressing is too thick, whisk in the water until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the dressing into a clean jar or bottle for storage. Shake well before each use.
For best results, refrigerate the dressing for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
