Mustard emulsifier

Apple cider vinegar is the star of this dressing, making it tangy and light. The addition of dijon mustard acts as an emulsifier.

This means that it helps the other ingredients, like oil and vinegar, to bind together instead of instantly separate.

This dressing will separate when sitting in the refrigerator for long periods of time, so give it a quick shake just before serving.

While there isn't enough mustard in the dressing to taste "mustard-y", it does add just a bit of spice.

A hint of honey also helps to even out the tangy and spicy flavors we've added so far. Want a sweeter dressing? Feel free to add more honey to taste.
