# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It takes exactly five minutes and uses ingredients you probably already have hanging around your kitchen.
  • The balance of sweet honey and sharp mustard makes even a sad bag of mixed greens feel like a real meal.
02 -
  • If your dressing separates after sitting in the fridge that is completely normal and not a sign you did anything wrong.
  • A tiny squeeze of lemon juice added at the end can rescue a dressing that tastes too heavy or one note.
03 -
  • Mince the garlic as finely as you possibly can because even one chunky piece will deliver an unpleasant bite.
  • Letting the dressing rest for even five minutes before eating transforms the flavor more than any extra ingredient could.
