Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (roughly 1/2 cup finely chopped) Vidalia onion
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel and finely chop the Vidalia onion until you have roughly 1/2 cup. For the smoothest dressing, you can use a food processor or blender to puree the onion.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chopped Vidalia onion, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard.
Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to whisk. This will help emulsify the dressing, giving it a creamy texture.
Add salt and black pepper to taste, and whisk one final time to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or container with a lid. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Shake or stir the dressing before serving. Drizzle it over fresh greens or use it as a dip for vegetables or even as a spread on sandwiches.
