This Honey Mustard Recipe
will Spice up Many a Dish
Choose a mustard that you particularly enjoy and play around with a different variety each time. You will enjoy them all but one of them will jump out at you and become your firm favourite over time. Some suggestions are American, English, French, Dijon or Wholegrain mustard.

Honey, raw honey if you have any, 10 mls or a good dollop
Stir all the ingredients together and toss into a salad of your choice, or cold tuna and pasta or even a sweetcorn and bean salad. This honey mustard dressing recipe will zing up many a dish, be inventive and impress not only yourself but your family and friends too.
