Hot Honey is a thing.... and it is a good thing in this Hot Honey Mustard Dressing.
It just gives the traditional Honey Mustard dressing a bit of a leg up. I used it initially on this Pear Walnut Salad and it was a hit. The candied walnuts and the sweetish dressing were a nice contrast to the little bits of blue cheese!
You need a fairly sturdy salad since this dressing o the thick side. A spinach base would be great but any sturdy greens would work here as well.

Notes
Note 1: People's tolerance for heat varies. Start with a smaller amount of pepper flakes or hot sauce. Taste after dressing is mixed and add more to taste. You want tangy not burning so the dressing doesn't overpower the salad.
