Ingredients

  • Basic Honey Mustard Dressing: 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Creamy Honey Mustard Dressing: 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat or dairy-free coconut yogurt), 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt an…
  • Spicy Honey Mustard Dressing: 1/4 cup yellow mustard, 1/4 cup honey, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/4 cup olive oil, salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Basic Honey Mustard Dressing: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup Dijon mustard and 1/4 cup honey. Whisk together until smooth and well blended, about 1 minute.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar to the bowl, whisk again to combine.
  3. Slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify. The dressing should thicken slightly and become glossy.
  4. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust honey or vinegar if desired.
  5. Creamy Honey Mustard Dressing: In a bowl, mix 1/4 cup Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard and 2 tablespoons honey until smooth.
  6. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon olive oil, whisking to combine.
  7. Season with salt and pepper. Thin with a teaspoon or two of water if too thick.
  8. Spicy Honey Mustard Dressing: Combine 1/4 cup yellow mustard with 1/4 cup honey in a bowl.
  9. Add 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  10. Slowly whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil to emulsify the dressing. Season with salt to taste.
  11. Taste and adjust heat level by adding more cayenne if desired.
  12. Optional: For extra smooth creamy dressing, blend ingredients in a food processor for 20-30 seconds.
  13. Store dressings in airtight containers in the fridge for up to one week. Shake or whisk before serving.

Notes

Whisk mustard and honey first to prevent clumps. Drizzle oil slowly while whisking vigorously to emulsify and prevent separation. For vegan versions, substitute honey with maple syrup and Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt. Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to one week. Shake or whisk before use. Adjust sweetness or tanginess by varying honey and vinegar/lemon juice amounts. Use smoked paprika and cayenne pepper cautiously to control heat.
