Mustardy and garlicky, with just a little taste of sweetness, makes this the perfect dressing for a hearty pasta picnic salad. Try it with a salad of bitter greens also – you’ll be glad you did.

If there is a main dish pasta salad or something with kale or bitter greens in your future, you won’t want to make them without adding this Double Mustard Vinaigrette. Mustardy, garlicky, and just a little sweet, this dressing can stand up to your heartiest salads. Yesterday in our Garden to Table Cooking class, we tossed this dressing into a Gluten-Free pasta salad with chicken sausage, mozzarella cheese cubes that had been marinating in some of this very same dressing, green onion, baby spinach, and fresh herbs. Winner, winner, pasta salad dinner. Hope you enjoy!!
