What You Will Need
Be sure to see the recipe card below for a full listing of ingredients, instructions, and estimated nutritional information.
- plain Greek yogurt – the perfect creamy base for this salad dressing, but you also have the option of using a plain, unsweetened dairy-free yogurt if you want it to be dairy-free.
- yellow mustard & Dijon mustard – we love the combination of the two mustard flavors here!
- honey – just a touch of sweetness so that it doesn’t get too tangy.
- lemon zest – a little acidity helps to amplify all of the great flavor in this dressing.
- kosher salt & pepper – every homemade dressing needs at least a pinch of both.
How To Make A Homemade Honey Mustard Dressing
Step 1: Next, pour all of the ingredients into a mason jar or small mixing bowl.
Step 2: If you are using a mason jar, you can place the lid on top, tighten, and give it a good shake! Otherwise use a whisk to fully combine the ingredients in a bowl.
Step 3: Taste and make any flavor adjustments you need.
Step 4: Enjoy any way you want!
How To Use Creamy Honey Mustard Dressing
You really can’t go wrong here! This dressing is so good that we could eat it with just about anything. Here are a few ideas for you:
- drizzling – this creamy dressing is also great to serve with a perfectly smoked pork tenderloin or grilled pork tenderloin, grilled chicken thighs, or drizzle it all over a variety of roasted, sautéed or grilled vegetables!
- salad dressing – every time we make this dressing we find ourselves making salads out of pretty much anything or just drizzling it just on a pile of mixed greens or lettuce – any chance we have to eat more of it! We especially love it on our Honey Mustard Chicken Salad or a simple Grilled Chicken Salad!
- dipping – if we aren’t adding this to a salad, then you can find us dipping just about anything in it! Any fresh veggies that we can find (i.e. carrots, celery, bell peppers) or some of our delicious chicken tenders or homemade chicken nuggets.
