I'm a big fan of salad, especially a loaded chicken avocado salad...Yum! I always have at least a few different homemade salad dressings in the fridge, ready to go.

HONEY MUSTARD DRESSING

This easy four ingredient dressing is so easy, Using ingredients you already have on hand, this one is a keeper. Seriously no need to buy the jar anymore, this homemade version is so much better. Perfect on a crispy chicken salad or a delicious dip for chicken strips, pretzels or slather some on a hamburger bun.

But boy oh boy were we missing out. You've got to give this a try, use it as a salad dressing or veggie dip! This dressing is also fantastic on my Grilled Chicken Avocado Salad!

BLUE CHEESE DRESSING

Blue Cheese dressing doesn't always get a lot of love. Blue cheese has a very strong flavor and I believe you either love it or hate it. I myself love it especially on a good wedge salad or slathered on some Crispy Buffalo wings. However you eat it, it will be fantastic!
