Servings 8 cups dressing

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mayonnaise Hellmann's or Duke's recommended
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt full-fat for extra creaminess; swap sour cream if you like
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar unfiltered for bold flavor
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons honey or raw sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard adds depth; spicy brown works too
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed optional, but it boosts that classic slaw vibe
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Whisk until smooth—this makes it ultra-creamy from the start.
  • Whisk steadily; watch the dressing lighten in color and take on a zingy aroma.
  • Stir gently until honey dissolves and the mustard swirls evenly.
  • Whisk and taste for seasoning and adjust if needed.
  • Cover and chill for at least 15 minutes to meld flavors and thicken.
  • Taste for balance and adjust if necessary.

Notes

Chilling is key—don’t skip the 15-minute rest for full flavor. Adjust sweetness or tanginess to personal preference. Use a whisk or handheld frother for lump-free dressing.
