Kitchen Tools
- A Small Mason Jar with a Lid or a Small Bowl: Personally, I love using a mason jar for this homemade vinaigrette dressing recipe. I love that I can combine, prepare and store the dressing all in one jar. If you do not have a mason jar they or do not want to use one, you can of course use the bowl and whisk method and store any leftover dressing in your container of choice.
- A Whisk or Fork (Optional): You will only need this is using a bowl to combine your ingredients. If using a mason jar then you will not need a fork or whisk and instead can just shake the jar.

Storage Instructions
This honey mustard vinaigrette dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
