Homemade healthy honey mustard dressing (perfect for a main dish meal with served over greens and crispy chicken strips!) --- The Nourishing Gourmet

Spicy mustard is blended with honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and seasonings to make a homemade Honey Mustard Salad Dressing. This healthy salad dressing makes a perfect meal on a summer day when tossed with fresh greens and crispy chicken strips!

The key to a good salad is a great dressing. I really didn’t enjoy salad until a few years ago. I never cared for the bottled dressings and a huge bowl of vegetables with nothing on them wasn’t very appealing either.

When I first had a salad with chicken and a good dressing I realized how amazing salad could be! I was hooked after the first bite. There was nothing bland or boring about it. Since then I have been a huge salad fan. Kimi’s cookbook “Fresh: Nourishing Salads for all Seasons” is a favorite of mine. If you ever lack inspirations it is the way to go.

This simple homemade honey mustard dressing is easy to make with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. My nourishing “Chick-fil-A” strips add protein that is needed to make this salad a meal, plus who doesn’t like chicken strips once in a while? I like to make a several batches ahead of time to keep in the freezer. When I make this salad all I need to do is reheat them in the oven or toaster oven.

    Looks like a delicious recipe! Btw, the link for chicken strips within the actual recipe is a bad link.
