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.

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.
