Honey Mustard Dressing and Spring Citrus Salad

I am in love with this dressing. I can't remember what inspired me to make it the first time, probably boredom with my usual salad dressing choices. It is so very simple and so very tasty with my current favorite salad. The sharp slightly sweet flavor sets off the citrus in the salad.
