Making my own salad dressing is one of those things that I always think takes more time than it actually does. This Dijon vinaigrette recipe is quick and easy because it uses only six ingredients, including salt and pepper, and you could even leave those out, along with the honey if you wanted to.
Of course, you can always just splash a little oil and vinegar on your salad, and I often do, but the few extra ingredients in this recipe take it up a notch. I also like having the oil and vinegar blended together, which is easy to do. You don’t need any fancy equipment, just a whisk.

What can you use in place of oil?
I’m not sure. You’ll have to experiment!
Very good dressing.
Going to make this as no more bought store brands!
Is Grey Poupon Dijon gluten free? I haven’t found a dijon that is. Wonder if this would be good with spicey brown mustard by French’s which is certified gf
I’m pretty sure it is gluten free, but I don’t have the ingredients to look at and can’t find them online. I think the spicy brown mustard would work well.
