- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar

Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard.

Add the granulated sugar, celery seed, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir until the sugar and spices are dissolved.
Gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, whisking to adjust the thickness of the dressing to your preference. It should be smooth and pourable but not runny.
