Even if you are stuck at home these days, I hope you are getting some signs of spring in your neighborhood. The flowers have started blooming and we are getting a mix of rain, wind, and sun these days here in California.

With the nicer weather, I am starting to turn to more salads and vegetables dishes than I usually eat in wintertime. This honey mustard vinaigrette is perfect for both salads and roasted veggies.

I bet you have everything you need to make this recipe. You really just need oil, acid (like lemon juice or vinegar), flavoring (like honey and mustard), and salt and pepper.
