Years ago, in a Mexican restaurant, I ordered a salad and really wanted some honey mustard dressing to top it off. "No luck" said the waiter. But he did indulge me. He brought me a jar of honey and some mustard. I mixed them together at the table, and to my surprise it came out great.
Honey mustard dressing goes great with a lot of stuff: bacon apple salad, hard boiled egg salad, chicken fingers, on sandwiches, or even on a pile of greens with some olives (my favorite). This dressing recipe is so easy - although I take the time to make my own mayo - which is not hard. It just takes a bit more effort than buying a jar of it, and it's a reliable mayo recipe - it hasn't failed me yet.
If you don't like mayonnaise, you can substitute some oil of your choice. A mild flavored oil is probably best, and maybe a bit less oil than mayo, about 2 tablespoons of oil instead of a ¼ cup of mayo.
Honey Mustard Dressing and Dip
Ingredients
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons mustard stone ground or other
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey depending on how sweet you like your dressing
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk, or mix with a spoon, until completely blended.
- Enjoy! I've stored it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks without a problem. It might even go longer, but it never lasts that long.

wooops - McKenzie, your other question - it lasts at least three weeks for me - it's actually never gone bad on me. It should last as long as mayo usually does when refrigerated. Just make sure to refrigerate it.

McKenzie, I haven't tried yogurt. I think it would work though. Let us know what happens if you try it.
