A couple of honemade dressings that I use with this

Fat Free Honey Mustard Dressing
Makes 1/3 cup
2 1/2 tbsp honey
1 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar*
Make sure you use rice wine vinegar, not rice vinegar
Mix all ingredients together and whisk well.

You can double or triple recipe but the quantitie I have added is the right ammount for this recipe

Mustard Vinaigrette
Makes 1/3 cup
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp honey
2 tbsp white vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1 garlic clove, minced

Whisk all ingredients together and serve
