Notes

NOTE: Add more honey if you prefer a sweeter dressing. Add more green onions and spicy brown mustard if you prefer a more pungent salad dressing.
 
 
NOTE: Grape seed oil has a strong flavor. You may prefer a milder dressing made with avocado oil or sunflower seed oil. Avocado oil wasn't readily available when I initially made this recipe. It would be my recommended choice for the oil ingredients in this recipe. It does not leave the strong aftertaste that olive oil has.
 
 
NOTE: Balsamic vinegar is a strongly flavored vinegar. You may prefer to substitute apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar.
 
 
NOTE: If you prefer a sweeter dressing, use sugar rather than honey.
