Honey Mustard Dressing

Tonight's supper meal was a spinach mushroom frittata, another new recipe that I was trying out. My guys enjoyed it, but I, on the other hand, did not find it to be quite what I consider "blog worthy." So, my search for a blog worthy frittata recipe continues.
As a side to the frittata, I prepared a mixed greens salad with lots of fresh veggies. To top it off, I chose this incredibly simple honey mustard dressing. Three ingredients - that's it. It doesn't get much easier than that.
There's also a little back story regarding my love for honey mustard dressing. Several years ago when my best friend Cindy and I would get together for a night out, we seemed to find ourselves at Perkins and we always seemed to order the shrimp bread bowl salad with honey mustard dressing. We would sit and visit, enjoy our salad, dip the torn off sides of our bread bowls into our extra dressing, and talk about how much we loved that dressing. I can still recall Cindy and I (and sometimes her husband Don) trying to get the name of the supplier of their dressing, ordering a container of dressing to go, and I trying one store bought honey mustard dressing after another, just so I could have this same tasty experience at home.
Well, finally, after all these years, I have finally recreated that infamous honey mustard dressing. And now I am sharing it with you. Mind you, I'm not eating the shrimp portion of the salad anymore, but my husband, Stephe, did make some homemade wheat bread this week which was quite a treat for dipping in the extra dressing.
And so tonight as I ate my salad with my family, my memories remind me of a cherished friendship, and a shared love of good food. My hope for you is that your mealtimes are a time in which you too connect and bond with those around you. A time to create lasting memories with the ones you cherish.


Ingredients:

1/2 cup mayo
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons dijon mustard

Mix together. It's really that simple.

Enjoy!
