I have SO many favourite salad dressings and it’s hard to pick just one. But if I HAD to pick it might be a tie between my favourite Homemade Blue Cheese Salad Dressing and this delicious Honey Mustard Salad Dressing. It’s so creamy and delicious and it’s got the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. If you’re a fan of honey mustard even a little bit you’re going to LOVE this dressing!!Ingredients for Homemade Honey Mustard Salad Dressing
To make this salad dressing recipe you’ll need:- Mayonnaise
- Dijon Mustard
- Grainy Mustard
- Liquid Honey
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Salt (optional)
How to Make Homemade Honey Mustard Salad Dressing
Making honey mustard salad dressing is SO easy!- Start with good quality mayonnaise. Making homemade dressings with mayo means the flavour of the mayonnaise matters. Try a high-quality, healthy mayonnaise made with avocado oil and without added sugars (Primal Kitchen makes a good one).
- Use good quality Dijon. We love Maille Dijon mustard best because it’s got a smooth flavour with a nice kick.
- Use liquid honey. Liquid honey works best in this recipe – creamed honey doesn’t have the same flavour and it can make the dressing too thick.
- Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. Letting the flavours meld is essential, so store your homemade honey mustard salad dressing in a container or mason jar for at least one hour in the fridge before serving on your favourite green salads!

How to store salad dressing
Mason jars are a great kitchen tool to have on hand for things like this homemade honey mustard salad dressing recipe. They’re airtight, so you don’t have to worry about spills, they’re dishwasher safe and easy to clean, and they’re great for more than just salad dressings. I use them for smoothies, homemade jams, soups, and other food storage. Get my favourite go-to Mason jars HERE (affiliate link). Aside from mason jars, one of my absolute FAVOURITE kitchen tools is this OXO Good Grips Salad Dressing Shaker (affiliate link). I make homemade salad dressing all the time because the bottled stuff isn’t readily available where I live. I also like being able to control the amount of fat and sugar I’m pouring over my salads, and making homemade dressings is a good way to know exactly what you’re putting into your body. This salad dressing shaker is PERFECT for making homemade salad dressings in a flash!! It allows you to measure ingredients right into the shaker (with the handy measurements on the side), it forms an airtight seal to keep the salad dressing fresh (and it’s good for shaking too!), and it pours beautifully thanks to the spout. It fits nicely in the fridge, and it’s seriously one of my favourite kitchen items ever! Looking for more salad dressing recipes to make at home?

I have tried your recipe and I loved it! I even copied it down to keep in my book of favorite recipes. Thank you for sharing! I love to eat salads. This dressing makes a homemade fresh salad even more Amazing!!!
We’re so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback!
Really good. I don’t usually measure so I just eyeballed the measurements. It’s so easy and good and only took a couple minutes to whip up. Also, I used agave because I don’t care for honey.
Agave sounds like a nice replacement. Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback!
