Homemade Honey Mustard Dressing (Better Than Store-Bought)
This homemade honey mustard dressing is creamy, sweet, and tangy with just the right balance of flavor. Made with simple ingredients like mayonnaise, mustard, and honey, it comes together in just a few minutes. Use it for salads, dipping sauces, sandwiches, or quick marinades.
Equipment
- 1 whisk
Ingredients
- 1 cup mustard
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup honey
Instructions
- Add the mayonnaise, mustard, and honey to a medium mixing bowl.
- Stir the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
- Taste the dressing and adjust the flavor if needed by adding more honey for sweetness or more mustard for tang.
- For best flavor, cover and refrigerate for about 15–20 minutes before serving.
Notes
• Let the dressing chill for 15–20 minutes before serving so the flavors can blend together.
• For a spicy honey mustard sauce, add a small spoonful of prepared horseradish or a few dashes of hot sauce.
• If the dressing is too thick, stir in a teaspoon of water or lemon juice until the texture is just right.
• Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5–7 days.
• Freezing is not recommended because the mayonnaise base can separate after thawing.
