    Honey Mustard Dressing - My creamy and delicious classic honey mustard dressing recipe is the perfect dressing for salads, sandwiches, as a dipping sauce, or as a marinade.

    HONEY MUSTARD salad DRESSING

    This is one of my go-to salad dressing recipes because not only is it extremely delicious but it whips up in just a few minutes! My Honey Mustard Salad Dressing calls for mayonnaise but I sometimes swap out the mayo for greek yogurt for a healthier and lighter dressing!

    You can use this dressing as a marinade for meats like chicken or pork, or as a dipping sauce for fries, on sandwiches and so much more! I am so excited to share my super simple yet delicious dressing recipe with you!

    Ingredients that go into making this recipe:

    • Honey - I used local raw honey in this recipe, but you can use your favorite honey!
    • Mustard - Dijon or yellow mustard both work great in this recipe.
    • Mayonnaise - You can also use greek yogurt for a lighter dressing.
    • Apple Cider Vinegar - If you don't have apple cider vinegar, you can also use white wine vinegar.
    • Black Pepper - Freshly cracked or ground black pepper both work great.
    • Paprika - I used regular paprika but smoked paprika would also be yummy.
    • Garlic Powder - Make sure you use garlic powder and not garlic salt!

    Tools to have on hand:

    • Bowl - To whisk your dressing together in.
    • Whisk or Fork - For whisking the dressing together 
    • Measuring Spoons + Cups - Properly measure all of your ingredients.

      I tried this yesterday for the first time and it is amazing! I used mayonnaise, smoked paprika, and did about half yellow mustard and half spicy brown mustard. My husband said it is the best he's ever tasted!
      I really like making homemade versions of things I like to eat, so I know what all the ingredients are that I am eating. This is a very simple, easy recipe that helps me achieve this goal.
