This tangy and sweet vinaigrette is a must-have for all of your dressing, drizzling and dipping needs. It’s easy to make with pantry staples and lasts for up to one week refrigerated in an airtight container. Dijon mustard and apple cider vinegar make this version creamy and extra punchy. If you prefer a sweeter dressing, add more honey to your liking. For further riffing, you can use lemon juice instead of vinegar and swap in different types of mustard.
