Whole grain mustard offers similar flavor with added texture, while yellow mustard is more budget-friendly.

Combine 1/3 cup avocado oil, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon honey in a small saucepan.

Heat the mixture on medium-high until it simmers, about 30 seconds.

Pour the warm dressing into a measuring cup with a spout for serving.

Prepare salad with lettuce, blueberries, apples, pecans, and feta cheese before serving the dressing.
