White Balsamic Honey Mustard Dressing

A bowl with lettuce mix, chopped roasted sweet potatoes, red onions, roasted corn topped with chickpeas and feta cheese being drizzled with a spoon held above with balsamic honey mustard dressing.

 I decided to give this dressing its own post, so you don’t always have to go into the Sweet Potato Quinoa Bowls to find it. It is so yummy and is the perfect fall dressing for your favorite salads or to drizzle over roasted veggies. Homemade salad dressings are so delicious. If you like to make them, don’t forget to try my favorite poppy seed and ranch dressing recipes. 

This recipe is great because it can be adapted to what you have on hand. If I have real maple syrup, I use it on anything with sweet potato. However, I like to sub honey for maple syrup. It gives it a nice Fall vibe and pairs perfectly with the warmth and sweetness of the sweet potato. You can also add in a little grated onion or onion powder, if you like a little onion undertone in your dressings. It’s very versatile and can last in the fridge for three weeks, making it easy to keep on hand.

Avocado is my favorite to use, but light olive oil or canola oil work great, too. This recipe is for a small batch that makes about 1 cup of dressing. The recipe doubles very easily, if you need a bigger batch. I hope you enjoy this simple dressing as much as I do.
