Weeknight Lemon Balsamic Salad Dressing Recipe + Saving the Last Dregs of Mustard
Maybe you have been there, the last dregs of mustard left in the jar. You don’t want to bother scraping it down and it seems wasteful to rise out the jar and recycle it. Here is your solution: Make salad dressing right in the jar!
This dressing is perfect even for a weeknight. Simple toss in the ingredients and shake the jar. For me, very therapeutic especially after a day filled with screens.

Ingredients:
Serves 4
Lemon Balsamic Dressing
2 Tbsp. balsamic
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 Tbsp. honey or maple syrup
1 tsp. Dijon Mustard (or as much as you have left in the jar)
1/4 to 1/2 cup of olive oil, depending on how much acid you like
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Bonus: Add a crush garlic clove
Instructions:
Add the balsamic, lemon, and honey to the almost empty mustard jar. Place the lid on tight and shake it, until incorporated. Taste and see if you like more or less oil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Toss with salad greens (I always season the salad greens and veggies with extra salt & pepper).
Bowl Directions:
- Mix the balsamic, lemon, and honey in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil until incorporated. Taste along the way and see if you like more or less oil and season to taste with salt and pepper.

This is the perfect drink for a hot summer day. If you are in the north east, like me you know these days are numbered, the leaves are already falling! It’s inspired by the Venezuelan drink, Tizana, which is made with chopped fruit and grenadine and can be spiked.
