Homemade Honey Mustard
Honey Mustard Dressing is so simple to make. It tastes amazing and it works perfect as a salad dressing or dipping sauce!
AN EASY SALAD DRESSING OR DIPPING SAUCE
I really love this homemade honey mustard. You can use it on salad or it can be a dipping sauce. I think I first started loving this when I ate at Chili’s years and years ago for the first time. I had their Chicken Crispers and this was the dipping sauce. After eating that, I had to go home and try to make some that tasted just like theirs. And I’ve been making it ever since!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Honey mustard sauce is typically made of a combination of mustard, honey, and mayonnaise, and sometimes vinegar. The exact ratios of these ingredients can vary depending on personal preference. Some recipes may also include additional ingredients like garlic, lemon juice, or spices to enhance the flavor profile. It’s a versatile condiment that can be used as a dipping sauce, marinade, or dressing for salads.
You can make as little or as much as you like of this stuff. All you need to remember is to measure out equal parts of each ingredient.
Use on any salad or as a dipping sauce for Homemade Chick-Fil-A Chicken Nuggets. It’s also good with just about any type of chicken and is an easy dip for some kids to use to eat more vegetables in. You can even slather this on fresh chicken breasts and bake in the oven or put on the grill to give it great flavor! This DIY Honey Mustard would also be fantastic on some Salmon or Grilled Chicken. Any and all fried foods, like French Fries are absolutely delicious in this sauce.
This sauce does need to be kept refrigerated. Store in a lidded container, like a mason jar. The dressing will stay fresh in the refrigerator for about a month
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)
- mayonnaise– I used Hellman’s Real Mayo. I haven’t tried this with other mayo brands or mayos that are made with avocado, olive oil, or other ingredients to make a healthier alternative.
- honey – raw honey
- Dijon mustard– I used French, but if you have a different favorite brand, that should work too.
HOW TO MAKE HONEY MUSTARD:
Pour all ingredients into a bowl. Whisk together. That’s it, so easy!
Put into a lidded container and store in refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.

Any particular brands of the condiments esp mayo & mustard maybe not the honey as much. Too many kinds of each out there. And I was raised on Kraft Miracle Whip & only realized in adulthood that it wasn’t really “mayo” but salad dressing. Took me years to get used to eating Helman’s Mayo but I like that better now.
Hi Marlene, with things like this, it’s really important to go with brands you love. Hellman’s mayo is one that is sold in most of the United States so that one is a solid choice. As for the dijon mustard I’ve used the Walmart Great Value Brand and I’ve used Grey Poupon. They both work well. 🙂
Can this honey mustard be canned in hot water bath or pressure cooker to keep or give as gifts to friends? And NO I have never posted anything on this site before. This shows me that the comments are not from the general public. Are they paid to say what they say? Fake
I have no idea where you’re going here, first you want me to help answer your question then you accuse me of fake comments. This is my website so I’ll do what I want. Goodbye ma’am. I will not answer a question after an insult. Go get your answer somewhere else.
We make Honey Mustard with Mayo, regular yellow mustard and corn syrup when we don’t have honey. Pretty good, but nothing compares to Captain D’S Honey Mustard…. I’ve never found anything as good as theirs….
I really cannot wait to try these dressings.
Hope you love them Marlene!
i am trying this recipe for my cream cheese sausage balls!!!
cant wait to try tonight
🙂
Thank you for the recipe. I've struggled to come up with a good honey mustard by winging it on my own. Now I realize it has to be Dijon (I always tried with regular mustard), honey and mayo. I never added the mayo and knowing to use equal amounts of all sure helps. Can't wait to try it!
SOOOO delicious!!
If you want to make a sauce that tastes like "Chick-fil-a Sauce", use mayo, a dash of regular mustard and bbq sauce…AMAZING!

This recipe is another keep and it was so good with the sweet chicken nuggets. 🙂
Hi there – Am lovin' your site and all the fantabulous recipes I'm finding.
Had to chime in and tell you that my best friend of 30+ years and I have been making a recipe extremely similar to this for years and it's always fabulous. Only differences are we use regular mustard and a good dash of regular paprika. It's amazing how the paprika changes it!
From another Bama gal – Thanks so very much for a fabulous site!

Easy, yummy, and versatile – that is a good recipe!
I make this same dressing and 1 of my 3 kiddos thinks it is so incredibly awesome!! She even swipes the remainder of the jar to go back to college with her if it's in the refrigerator. Just make a note on the jar when the mayo expires and keep this on hand…it's yummy!!
Yup, my favorite dressing I make it all the time (though sometimes I use yogurt instead of mayo). Looks great! 🙂
I love honey mustard dressing! It is so yummy over chicken breast cooked in the oven! Have a wonderful week my friend!
This recipe is perfection! I’ll never buy store-bought again!
I make this all the time. I've never used a recipe though. This is probably easier than a dollop of mayonnaise, a squirt of honey and a spoon of mustard, stir and taste. Add more of one, more of another and finally it's perfect but I have enough for an army. 🙂
My family loves dipping cheese in Honey Mustard. Thanks for another great dressing recipe!
I'm love this dressing recipe!
This would be perfect for dipping just about anything! Love simplicity of this recipe, Brandie!
