This is the BEST honey mustard recipe. It’s creamy, sweet, tangy . . . I could literally drink this with a straw.

Use it as a salad dressing, smother it over chicken cordon bleu, or use it as a dip for your favorite chicken tenders; you can’t go wrong!

Ingredients

This honey mustard recipe could not be more simple and definitely could not be more delicious!

  • Mayonnaise – makes the sauce ultra creamy.
  • Honey – adds a touch of sweetness.
  • Dijon Mustard – I love the bit of spice the dijon mustard adds to balance out the creamy mayo and sweet honey.
  • Lemon Juice – adds a touch of tanginess to cut the sweetness of the honey.
Pro tip
Want to lighten this up? Use an olive oil or avocado oil based mayo! I don’t recommend using greek yogurt. 

How to make

Just 5 minutes and you’re done! This honey mustard is as easy as it gets!

  1. Place all your ingredients into your food processor and process until fully combined.
  2. Serve and enjoy or store in the fridge until you’re ready to use!
Pro tip
Don’t have a food processor? No problem! Use a whisk and a little elbow grease 😉 to ensure a smooth dressing.

Variations

  • Spice it up. Add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper for a little extra heat.
  • Make it garlic honey mustard. Mix in some garlic powder or freshly minced garlic for a flavor twist.

How to serve honey mustard

The great thing about honey mustard is it’s SO versatile! Here are some ways you can serve it!

How to store

Store leftover honey mustard in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

I don’t recommend freezing it because the texture will be affected.

    5 stars I appreciate the two versions, thinner versus thicker. I was frustrated with recipes that weren’t clear about which result was aimed for

    5 stars I have been searching for actually 18 years for a honey mustard sauce that tastes like one of my favorite restaurants. The bottled versions (I’ve tried them all) were ICK. but this one…..this was fabulous and the search is officially over. Thanks for such a GREAT recipe and for posting it on Instagram. Fate!
