In a medium mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and whisk until thoroughly mixed.
Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. I prefer using a mason jar or a similar container for storage.

Whisk Vigorously: Whisk the ingredients thoroughly to create a smooth, creamy texture. An electric mixer can also be used for an even fluffier dressing.
Adjust Sweetness: Taste the dressing as you mix, and adjust the sugar, honey, or maple syrup to suit your personal preference for sweetness.
Chill Before Serving: For the best flavor, let the dressing chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, opt for fresh ingredients, especially if you’re adding herbs. Fresh herbs can significantly enhance the taste of your dressing.
Experiment with Ratios: Feel free to modify the ratios of the ingredients to personalize the dressing to your liking—more mustard for tang or more mayo for creaminess!
