How to Make Cooked Salad Dressing

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  5. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more honey for sweetness, vinegar for tang, or salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Pour dressing over your favorite spinach salad and enjoy!
