Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Pumpkin seed oil
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic clove (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
In a small mixing bowl or a glass jar with a lid, combine the pumpkin seed oil, extra virgin olive oil, and apple cider vinegar.
Add the Dijon mustard, honey, and minced garlic to the mixture.
Sprinkle in the salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together until the dressing is emulsified and has a smooth consistency. If using a jar, seal it tightly and shake vigorously to combine.
