Honey Mustard anything was definitely high on my list things you couldn’t pay me to eat when I was younger. Mustard? It’s supposed to be zesty with maybe a little spice. Not sweet. Right? Wrong. Most things in life could use a little sweetness. Mustard goes well with a bit of sweet. My grown up palate has come to that conclusion. My mother will be proud.
The only thing about eating a fantastic healthy salad with grilled chicken and veggies and all of that good-for-you stuff is that if you cover it all up with fattening dressing, it kiiiiind of takes you back a couple of steps you know? That’s why I love whipping up my own dressing that are lower on the guilt scale, but still score high on the tasty scale. This Creamy Honey Mustard Dressing definitely fits the bill!

Can you use it to marinade chicken?
Yes!
I love this recipe. First time I have ever tried to make my own honey mustard. Better than anything I have tasted in a restaurant. Thank you!
Could you use coconut milk yogurt for a dairy-free version?
I think that would work! It will probably change the flavor a little bit though.
Do you happen to have a calorie and other nutritional information on this recipe?
Hi Jamie, I don’t have the nutrition stats on hand but I recommend using http://www.myfitness.com pal – it’s free and I feel like it’s pretty accurate 🙂
How long do you think this dressing can last in the fridge?
Hi CheyAnne, I’ve kept it up to 5-6 days, just give it a good shake once a day to help everything stay blended. 🙂
I love this recipe, when i made it i added twice the lemon juice, i like mine a bit loser than it was. I also used spicy brown mustered and it turned out perfect,I love the spicy kick.
I had a hot bacon honey mustard at a restaurant and would love to re-create it. I know of course that it would up the calorie count but could I add a little bacon dripping to this and warm it ?
That sounds amazing! I think bacon drippings would be a fabulous addition and you can definitely serve it warm!
How long would this be good for in the fridge?
Thank you for posting a “lightened up” recipe! I LOVE all of your recipes, but have really been cracking down on trying to eat much healthier; working on losing weight. So this delicious alternative to normally fattening dressing is VERY much appreciated!
This honey mustard looks prefect! Your photos are always so gorgeous and really capture the greatness of your work! I love that this dressing is so easy to throw together with ingredients mostly everyone will have in their kitchens. Pinning and making asap! 🙂
This is gorgeous! I make my own honey mustard by blending mustard grains, vinegar, water, and honey. And I love the idea of adding the Greek yog! So smart! pinned
