Best Baconless Spinach Salad Dressing

Description

My daughter is vegetarian so I came up with this alternative to hot bacon dressing for spinach salad. This is great if there are vegetarians at your table. I serve crumbled bacon on the side so we still get the delicious flavor of hot bacon dressing! You can substitute Dijon mustard for the honey Dijon mustard, if desired.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons honey Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons grated red onion
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ⅓ cup white sugar, or more to taste

Instructions

  1. Whisk olive oil
  2. white wine vinegar
  3. Dijon mustard
  4. red onion
  5. sea salt
  6. black pepper
  7. and lemon juice together in a microwave-safe bowl.
  8. Cook oil mixture in the microwave until hot and almost boiling
  9. 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Gradually whisk sugar into hot mixture until dressing is thick and creamy.
