Ingredients
1 1/4	teaspoon	mustard (French, Dijon)	(6 grams)
3/4	teaspoons	sugar	(4 grams)
1/4	teaspoon	salt	(2 grams)
1/8	teaspoon	ground black pepper	(0.4 grams)
50	mls	olive oil
1 1/4	tablespoon	white wine vinegar	(20 mls)

Salt content: 2.75% (by weight, not counting salt in other ingredients)

If you want to use balsamic vinegar, use the same amount of vinegar as you use olive oil.

Method

Put the ingredients into a jam jar, close the lid and shake. Alternatively, you can use a blender.

Step-by-Step Instructions

	Use an old jam jar - pour the olive oil + vinegar into the jar. Add some salt, pepper and a tiny bit of sugar. Add one teaspoon of Dijon mustard. Close the jar and shake it well - finished! Keeps in the fridge for a couple of days if you want to make a bit more.
	I've added some dill tops here which makes a nice addition.

6	Honey can be good for you, but most honey is processed to a point where it is not good for you. If you eat it RAW and uoeknocd, unpasteurized, and right from the hive, it is good for you and contains lots of minerals, but it has lots of sugar in it, so eating lots of it is not good.Like most foods being presented to people in the Mausoleums where dead food is held in state are located and herds of grocery carts roam the piles of marketing hyped packages of nutritionless heaps of dead garbage, honey that is processed fits right in and no one should eat that junk.Find a local bee keeper that does not heat his honey and has wild honey and buy that.good luck to you
