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 1/4 cup of mayo.
Honey Mustard Dressing and Dip
Ingredients
- 1/4 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.
I love it I have not been able to have honey mustard because I am on the GAPS diet ]
Thank you
I love your site immennsly
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.
do you know about how long this dressing lasts? and have you ever tried substituting yogurt for mayonaise? it sounds great! love honey mustard 🙂
I made it with yogurt today and mmmmmmm!! Yes. It works. 🙂
good to know!
Thnaks, I’ll have to try this. Honey Mustard is one of my favorites, I love it on chicken.
I’ve been dying for a good honey mustard dressing. I will be trying this.
Simple and I bet wonderful, I will be making this soon.
