Description

This homemade honey mustard dressing is sweet, tangy, and creamyโ€”perfect for salads, dipping, or even as a sandwich spread. It comes together in just a few minutes with simple ingredients and is a healthier alternative to store-bought dressings.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
  2. Add the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), olive oil, salt, and pepper, and continue whisking until well combined and creamy.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more honey for sweetness or vinegar for tang.
  4. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, use vegan mayonnaise and maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Add a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika for extra flavor.
  • Great as a dip for chicken tenders or veggies, or as a dressing for a simple green salad.
