Warm Honey Mustard Dressing Over Spinach Salad

Disclosure- I received the mentioned product courtesy of the sponsor for the the purpose of this review. All opinions are genuine, based on my experience with the product, and have not been influenced by promotional items.


Allison made a gourmet pasta dinner earlier this week and it was soooo good! Seriously, restaurant quality. The bechamel sauce called for only a little sauteed spinach added in, so we ended up with more than half a container leftover that I didn't want to go to waste. While I can't really handle spinach myself (especially uncooked), with the right ingredients added in, I can entice the rest of the family to eat it up. If you pour over homemade dressing, even better. Need a fantastic dressing recipe? Golden Blossom Honey has you covered with this Warm Honey Mustard Dressing that's perfect for leftover spinach, or any greens of your choosing. 

Honey Mustard Salad Dressing

Now that summer is almost here, this is a great recipe to have on hand for salads or fresh veggies picked out of your garden. It's made with only 5 simple ingredients that you should already have in your pantry, so no unnecessary trips to the grocers will be needed in order to whip this recipe together when you're in the mood for fresh dressing. I doubled the recipe and stored it in a mason jar in the fridge since we'll use the dressing as a marinade for grilling too. I see this recipe as one we'll be using time and time again this season!

Ingredients
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY MUSTARD
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
10 ounces baby spinach leaves
Optional Additions:
crisp bacon bits, chopped hard boiled egg, toasted walnuts

  1. I gave up salad dressings a little over a year ago and now I only use flavored balsamic vinegars, such as mango or blackberry. No oil. Astoundingly delicious and healthier. That salad looks delicious.

    1. Blackberry sounds amazing! Ken's has a raspberry pecan vinaigrette that I like, but it does contain oil.

  2. I've never actually tried spinach raw, I usually cook it for five minutes in boiling water with some vegeta and garlic, and then sieve it, cool it and ad some mayo in it.

    1. That sounds yummy too! Do you eat it as is then, or do you add it to bread?

    2. I eat it as a sidedish to breaded tofu, falafel, veggie patties, breaded zucchinni etc. I turn it into a spinach mash like that :)

  3. I had spinach salad for the first time last year and liked it. This sounds really good.

  4. I eat my salad dry, but will put things in it like avocado and tomato to make it easier to eat. But I do love a great honey mustard sauce to dip my sweet potato fries into. Yum!

  5. Yuuu ... I'm sure this salad is delicious.
    In my country, salads are still not ready for daily meals, usually only in pizza restaurants.

    1. That's interesting that you don't have ready to eat salad there. It's a staple in the US diet for many.

  6. I need more salad indeed. I gotta have extra healthy kick after rich and creamy Eid Al_fitri food. This look healthy and delicious, Theresa

    1. But your Eid Al_fitri food looked so worth those extra calories, Indah!

  7. I eat it raw and away I go. Sounds like a great way to use it up though and eat healthy to boot.

  8. We eat spinach raw almost every morning with breakfast. It's good. I think the only one that rolls his eyes about it is Isaak. It gets stuck in his braces.

    1. I can see that happening. Braces can be such a pain! I can't wait for Leah to get hers off. I think by the end of the year *hopefully*

  9. She did a good job. It's very pretty too! I like that it's so easy to make.

    1. I made the salad. She made the pasta that I gobbled up and didn't snap a pic of because I was too busy eating it LOL

    2. Ah gotcha. So much for my reading skills. I'll remember this moment when I tell my students they need to read more carefully. ;)

  10. Such a pretty and healthy salad, love these colors!

  11. I like all the bad for you kinds: Blue Cheese and Ranch. I've been trying to make my own, and go healthier.

    1. Me too! Though we found out Jason gets really sick when he eats Blue Cheese, so we can't buy that kind anymore.

  12. Delicious ... food... nyam nyam nyam...

  13. The pictures came out great and I do enjoy a good honey mustard. I like that sweet and heat thing that goes on.

    1. I love how you always put heat in your recipes with those peppers you like to use!

    2. So nice. After I had my teeth pulled back a few months ago, I couldn't handle any heat and I thought, oh boy, that's the end. But I'm back. Though I still cannot stand the smell of mayo. That happened once the five teeth came out.

      Happy Weekend to you. Do you have that PB cheesecake pie on your blog? I would love to do a dairy-free (allergic), take on it. We used to make peanut butter pies all the time when I was a prep cook. Between that and yours I'll be able to come up with an allergy-to-me friendly one. Love the idea of peanut butter cheesecake.

    3. It wasn't my recipe this time around, but I used this one here https://thediyfoodie.com/peanut-butter-chocolate-cheesecake-a-step-by-step-guide/. It was so good, but definitely not dairy free with the cream cheese and sour cream. If you do a different take with substituted ingredients, I would love to hear how it turned out for you!

      Crazy how having teeth removed can have that affect on your smell, isn't it? Glad the heat sensitivity passed for you though!

      Delete
    4. Smell and taste too because I tasted it and I wanted to barf. It's an egg free mayo that I used to love. Like, it was a food group. Now, gag me with a spoon.

      Thanks. I would like to work on a peanut butter cheesecake or a peanut butter pie like I used to make at work.

      Thanks!

    5. Just looked ... that's similar to one I made as a prep cook the peanut butter and the cream cheese together. Though they didn't use eggs but they did use Oreo Cookies - but the generic ones. Ours was a no bake, chilled peanut butter pie. But same idea with the mixing of the dairy and the nut butter. Thanks. I can't use this but it's fun to see and really, the best part is YOU gave me the idea to create a peanut butter cheese cake. Thanks!
