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.
