Honey Mustard Vinaigrette

This is kind of a mellow dressing for salad with bold flavors that you don't want to cover up (like Pear and Gorgonzola Salad: click here for recipe). It adds just a little 'zing' without really distracting from the main event.

This recipe makes about 1/2 cup, enough for one salad's worth.


Honey Mustard Vinaigrette

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup good-quality extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil (you could also use walnut oil, or some other flavorful, nutty oil)
• 3 tablespoons fruity vinegar (I used raspberry white balsamic, but apple cider or something similar would be great)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 scant tablespoon brown or Dijon mustard
  
• Splash of lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

Put all the ingredients in a tightly sealed container and shake vigorously, or process in a food processor until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
