Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions
Step 1
In a small mixing bowl, combine Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
Step 2
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the dressing. This will create a creamy and cohesive texture.
Step 3
Add the cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly to incorporate the spices evenly.
Step 4
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed. If you find the dressing too thick, whisk in a teaspoon of water at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.

Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or bottle and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Step 6
Shake well before using and drizzle over your favorite salads or use as a dip for roasted vegetables or grilled dishes.
