Honey Mustard Ingredients

You more than likely have all the ingredients needed for this homemade honey mustard recipe sitting in the kitchen.Scroll down to the recipe card for exact amounts.

• Dijon Mustard: Use this savory mustard variety for the best tasting dressing. Substitute regular, yellow mustard if you prefer.
• Honey
• Mayonnaise: Plain, full fat greek yogurt or sour cream will also work, but will be less creamy.
• Lemon Juice: Using fresh lemon juice really makes this recipe pop. White vinegar or apple cider vinegar will also work.
• Cayenne Pepper: Use just a pinch, it’s not enough to make it spicy, but just enough to add a depth of flavor!

How To Make Honey Mustard Dressing

This creamy sauce is deliciously easy, just whisk it together. Get ready to dunk French fries, sweet potato wedges, chicken nuggets and more!

• Combine: Grab a small bowl and whisk together all the ingredient. Serve and enjoy!

What To Serve With Honey Mustard

This homemade honey mustard sauce is so good, you may want to eat it all by itself with a spoon! I often use it as a salad dressing, just thin it out with a little more vinegar. Here are a few more tasty ways to enjoy it:

How To Store Homemade Honey Mustard

I’ll be amazed if you have any leftovers of this creamy honey mustard sauce!

• Store: Store leftovers in a clean jar with a tightly fitting lid in the refrigerator for about two weeks. If individual ingredients have longer expiration dates, it could keep for up to a month.
• Freeze: I do not recommend freezing this sauce as it can separate once thawed.
