After trying every store bought honey mustard dressing I could find I found myself disappointed and new I could make it better at home and for less money! Using simple high quality ingredients I combined these flavors into a symphony of deliciousness. Now I keep this honey Dijon dressing on hand at all times and have even given it as a gift to family that have requested a jar.

It’s the perfect condiment for chicken tenders to salads and anything that needs a sweet and tangy kick.

Our Favorite Homemade Honey Mustard Dressing

This is by far one of my favorite dressings to make at home because it's so simple and it lasts in the fridge for a long time.

We use this honey dijon dressing on everything from salads to salmon and everything in between.

The best part ... this dressing comes together with just 6 ingredients that you probably already have on hand.

Not only are you saving money by making it yourself, but you are also able to adjust the flavors to get it exactly how you want it and you are saving yourself from consuming all those added ingredients that store bought dressing comes with.

How to make Honey Dijon Dressing

Whisk ingredients. Place all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk together. Whisking will allow you to keep the mustard seeds whole which I prefer. If you want a smooth creamy dressing, go ahead and blend until smooth.

Store in jar or container. Once your dressing has reached the consistency you are looking for and is done, store it in a mason jar or any sealed container in the fridge for up to 6 weeks.

Honey Mustard Dressing Recipe tips, tricks, and variations

Mustard: Don't be afraid to use different mustard or mustards' if you want to change it up. With this recipe, you can use any mustard you like to make honey mustard! However, I would like to point out, if you use classic ballpark mustard you will get that bright yellow honey mustard that kids tend to love!

Honey: Personally, I like to use Local Orange Blossom honey because it has a deep caramelized flavor. However, you can use any honey you have on hand and it will work just fine.

Texture: As I mentioned previously, I love whole mustard seeds and that's why I whisk the ingredients together. But, if you want or prefer a smooth honey dijon you can use a blender or food processor to get a smoother texture.

How to use Dijon Honey Mustard Dressing

Honey Dijon Dressing is most commonly used for salads, however, did you know you could use this dressing for more?

Honey Dijon Dressing is the perfect dipping sauce for Caribbean Jerk Grilled Chicken Tenders or brushed over salmon or pork loin as a glaze!

Looking to serve this dressing with something a little more low-key? You can use this dressing on a veggie tray for dipping.

Honey Dijon Dressing Recipe FAQs

Is Honey Dijon Dress Dairy Free?

Yes! There is no dairy in this recipe. I know what you are thinking, but there is mayo in the recipe. You are correct, there is mayo in the recipe and many people get confused about it, but mayonnaise is not dairy!

Can I make this Low Carb?

Yes, if you are looking to make this recipe low carb it is easy to do. Instead of using honey, replace the honey with a sugar-free liquid sweetener. I recommend using maple syrup to make this recipe extremely low-carb.

What's the difference between honey mustard and honey mustard dressing

The main difference is that honey mustard is made with classic yellow mustard instead of whole-grain Dijon Mustard. Think of honey dijon as grown-up classier honey mustard...But both are quite tasty.
