A versatile salad dressing that can be used for so much more than just give your pasta salad a boost, is my creamy Dijon mustard salad dressing. A perfect balanced dressing with creaminess and heat to liven up your salad or anything else you want to put it on.

I use this Dijon mustard dressing as a dipping sauce to quorn chicken nuggets for example, when I do not feel like cooking. It is so easy to stick the nuggets in the oven and prepare the sauce while I wait for them.

Another use is for the dressing, is to make a quick pasta dish. Using this creamy dressing as a cold sauce, with a few halved plum tomatoes and a few salad leaves. Once the pasta is cooked, mix the dressing with the pasta, before adding the vegetables.

Substitutes

If you don’t like the taste of Dijon mustard then try the same recipe with a mustard of your choice. This dressing works really well with a sweet mustard as well.

Variations
