Hot Honey Salad Dressing

This Hot Honey Salad Dressing has been my GO TO for months! It tastes fantastic on everything. It hits on all the notes: sweet, spicy, savory, and overall fantastic.

Ever since first making this dressing earlier this year, I can’t stop!! I have re-made it about ten times since then and figured it needed a recipe page of its own because I know I will be referencing it a bunch!!

Ingredients and Substitutions

Just a few ingredients makes a magical dressing!

• Extra virgin olive oil: A high-quality olive oil is best for a salad dressing base.
• Honey: Adds natural sweetness and a touch of floral flavor to balance the acidity. You can substitute with hot honey too!
• Chili oil: Or some chili crisp. Adds a hint of spice and depth of flavor to make it a hot honey. You can add more if you like spice too. No need to add this if you are using hot honey, up to you!
• Red wine vinegar: Provides a tangy, sharp taste to balance the sweetness. You can substitute with champagne or white wine vinegar. In a pinch you could use lemon juice or balsamic vinegar, but they will change the flavor profile slightly
• Dijon mustard: Brings a sharp, tangy taste with a hint of heat and creaminess.
• Kosher salt: To bring out all the flavors.
