ode to mustard

Oh, mustard. How does anyone cook without you? Quiche, lamb, and chicken are better for having met you. You perk up a plate of cheese and crackers (Dijon!), and complement sausage (stone-ground!). Some weird people even eat you out of the jar. With a spoon. Not that I know any such crazies.

And you're a star in salad dressings . . . like this addictive gem, perfect over a bowl of assertive greens.

Honey Mustard Dressing
(original recipe from This Week for Dinner) 

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup mild honey
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Whisk, chill, pour.

p.s. I did not realize how often I used mustard until I searched it on this blog. Wow. I should start bulk-ordering it.
