Make this homemade honey mustard dressing at home for a totally adjustable-to-your-taste salad dressing!
Honey mustard has never been the first dressing I think of when it’s time to have a salad. In fact, it’s NEVER been in my fridge until now.
Growing up, I was much more partial to dairy based dressings. Perhaps it was my German upbringing, but still to this day the first dressing I want to grab for is blue cheese or ranch. I’m not sure who’s ideas it was to put dairy on a salad, but it works, and I love it to this day.
But since I gave up dairy (again…), I’ve had to come up with alternative dressings. So I finally knuckled down and tried honey mustard. And while I would still prefer ranch or blue cheese, I have to say that this is a pretty tasty substitute.

Were you following me at the grocery store this week? My hubby loves honey mustard dressing on his (clean) chicken tenders. I picked up a bottle at the grocery sore, looked at the neediness and though “there’s got to be a way I can make this myself”!
This recipe was in my inbox today….perfect timing!!!!Colleen

I would probably try this with dijon. Honey dijon is MY favorite. And there’s a restaurant out my way that adds a bit of cayenne pepper to their honey mustard… it’s got a kick. It’s VERY good that way.

Great! I’m sure that would be tasty!

Can’t wait to make this … Honey mustard dressing is a staple in our house, so I was practically giddy when I saw you had a clean version. How long do you think it will keep in the fridge?
Reply
Probably 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. It’s pretty stable stuff.

When you say prepared yellow mustard is that one you buy in the shop in powdered form or one you have a recipe to make?
Reply
No, that’s the stuff in the bottle you buy at the store that you use for hot dogs and hamburgers.

This is great, I have been trying to find a store bought brand of honey mustard that doesn’t have high fructose corn syrup in the ingredients and this is a perfect alternative!! Thank you

Does this really have 699 calories, or is that a typo? Just wanted to double check!
Reply
Kelly – Yes, but that is for the entire recipe. You wouldn’t put the whole batch on your salad.
Reply
Wow! This awesome, my new favorite salad dressing.
Reply
Celeste – Awesome! Give the strawberry vinaigrette a try as well. Yummy!
Reply
Is there really 699 calories in only 1/3 of the recipe. Yikes
Reply
Amanda – Yes, but you aren’t going to pour a 1/3 cup over your salad either. And those calories are good quality calories. It makes a difference!
