Homemade Honey Mustard Dressing

This Homemade Honey Mustard Dressing is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy and one of my favorite easy to make condiments! Spread it on a sandwich, drizzle it on a salad, or dunk Baked Tofu Chicken Nuggets in it! It's the perfect make ahead dressing or condiment for meal prep. All you need is 6 ingredients and 5 minutes.

Although buying condiments and dressings at the grocery store is incredibly convenient, it can be very expensive! They're also often filled with preservatives or filler ingredients to make them cheaper to produce and last on the shelves.

By making your own dressings at home, you are in complete control of what you use. It's also much cheaper and budget friendly!

This homemade honey mustard recipe is also as easy as it gets – no blenders, no dicing, no stovetop required. Just a bowl and a whisk!

Ingredient Notes and Possible Substitutions

• Mayonnaise – I use my homemade eggless mayonnaise to make this recipe as cheap as possible, but any store-bought or vegan mayonnaise of choice will work here.
• Dijon Mustard – Dijon mustard is the best mustard to use for mustard dressing because it is much more tangy and a little spicier than yellow mustard. If you prefer a more mild dressing, yellow mustard will work.
• Honey – I prefer milder honeys in this dressing, like clover honey or wildflower honey. Use what you like! If you're out of honey, or want to make this homemade dressing vegan-friendly, sub in 3 tablespoon light agave and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup.
• White Vinegar – Essential to balancing the sweetness with a little sourness! Don't skip! Substituting with apple cider vinegar may be possible, but I have not tried it.

Step by Step Instructions

1. Add all of the ingredients to a bowl or mason jar with a lid.

2. Whisk until completely smooth and combined!

Chipotle Honey Mustard Dressing Variation

If you're looking for a spicier honey mustard dressing, try this chipotle honey mustard variation (my favorite)!

1. Add two finely diced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce to your honey mustard and whisk to completely combine.

2. Taste and add additional adobo sauce until the honey mustard is spiced to your liking!

This version is perfect for taco salads, sandwiches, black bean burgers, crispy potato wedges, and more!

Expert Tips

• Add the honey 1 tablespoon at a time and taste as you go! This will ensure it's sweetened to your personal taste. Remember – it's easy to add more, impossible to subtract!
• Drizzle this on everything! It's so good and addicting!
