Raw, roasted, sautéed or grilled, vegetables almost always taste better when drizzled with a little dressing. While a cold, creamy topping is a sure fit with crisp salads, something warm may work better with a steaming serving of greens or other veggies. This simple sauce is made from pantry staples – stone-ground mustard, velvety extra-virgin olive oil and lemon – and whisked to rich, pourable perfection over low heat on your stove. It’s great over grains or gluten-free pasta, too!
