Champagne Honey Mustard Dressing Recipe
"Fruit Salad...honey, honey". How can you go wrong with fruit, nuts and honey? This easy recipe would be perfect for a brunch, a bridal or baby shower, or just a quick power-packed breakfast. The Cherchies® Champagne Mustard in the dressing brings out the tanginess of the fruit, and adds a certain "je ne sais quoi" (a property that makes something distinctive...ooh la la) to the dish.
Ingredients
- 1 apple cored and chopped
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 (Tablespoon) Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 can (11 oz.) mandarin oranges, drained or 11 oz. Clementine oranges, peeled and separated (my children are not fans of Mandarin oranges)
- 1 avocado, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
