Honey Mustard Dressing Recipe

Why We Love This Honey Mustard Dressing Recipe

I’m a sucker for the sweet and sharp flavor combination in honey mustard. It tastes so familiar yet exciting! And, like most things, nothing beats a homemade version. You can make this easy creamy Honey Mustard Salad Dressing recipe from scratch in only about 5 minutes, and keep it ready to use in the fridge for up to a week! It’s even great to personalize to your tastes… You might prefer to use all yellow mustard for color and a light tangy flavor or all Dijon mustard to pack a bit more punch. Or you can use half-and-half for a very well rounded honey mustard flavor. You can even add extra seasonings or lime zest to really kick up the deliciousness! However you choose to mix up a batch, this fabulous dressing is perfect for tossing with fresh greens or using as a dipping sauce for chicken tenders, sweet potato fries, freshly baked pretzels, and more!
