SUBSTITUTIONS FOR HONEY MUSTARD DRESSING
Olive Oil: You can use avocado oil in place of olive oil. We don’t recommend using canola or other oils for dressings.
Honey: We have only tried this recipe using honey, but maple syrup would also work as a sweetener in place of honey.
White Wine Vinegar: Apple Cider Vinegar would also work as a 1:1 substitute.
Whole Grain Mustard:Â Any form of whole or ground mustard will work in this recipe. You can use yellow, whole grain, dijon, etc.

Denise Baum says
This is a delicious blend of sweet and sour. I am hypertensive, so I eliminated the salt (mustard is salty). Also, I used the mustard I had on hand, which was a combination of yellow and brown! The texture is smooth and pleasing. I know that messing with recipes alters expected results, but this one seems to rise above tampering! I will make this again. Thank you!

Glad the substitutions worked!

Absolutely delicious! A new favorite! And so easy! I think dijon would work too if you don’t have whole grain mustard. Definitely give this one a try!!😋😋😋
