Notes

You can blend the dressing in a blender or with a hand mixer for a creamier texture.
Add more honey for extra sweetness, or more lemon juice for more tang.
Increase the Dijon mustard up to 1 tablespoon if you want a stronger mustard flavor.
Finely chopped parsley or chives work well as herb substitutes.
Add red pepper flakes for a little heat.
