  • Homemade Honey Mustard Sauce Recipe

Honey mustard is a kid favorite at our house. My kids love it on homemade chicken fingers and on salads. I love it on spring salad with berries. No matter what we eat it on, I don’t care for some of the ingredients in store-bought honey mustard, so I make it myself.

Homemade Honey Mustard

This homemade honey mustard is a great alternative to the store-bought variety. I use just a few simple ingredients that I usually already have on hand.

I whisk together homemade mayo (or this excellent store-bought version), mustard, honey, and spices. I alternate between using Dijon mustard and yellow mustard, but whatever kind or combination you have on hand will work just fine. Also, you can add a dash of cayenne pepper if you like a little kick to your honey mustard.

If you haven’t tried making homemade mayo yet, I highly recommend it. It’s really not difficult and only takes a few minutes. The key is to add the oil super slowly. Like, a drop at a time to start with. If you are egg-free, you can use avocado mayo instead, but the texture and taste will be slightly different. It’ll be a fun green color though!

Ways to Use Honey Mustard Dressing

I use this honey mustard as both a dipping sauce and a salad dressing. I mentioned above that the kids love it for dipping homemade chicken fingers, but they also like it as a veggie dip and a dip for parsnip fries. And I intentionally designed my spring salad with berries to use this honey mustard dressing, but it’s great on all kinds of salads.

I also use it as a marinade sometimes. It is great for grilled meats and excellent on baked chicken. I coat the chicken in honey mustard and dredge it in almond flour and spices. If that isn’t your thing, try mixing it into homemade chicken salad.

I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m intrigued by this idea. We all know that I love one-pan meals.

    My kids went crazy for chicken (and their carrots) with this honey mustard dressing. Best I’ve found yet!

    There are recipes for homemade mustard as well. And since it’s made with vinegar, it should last a week or longer. And specially if it’s canned.
