I love a simple dressing recipe to whip up and keep on hand to make salads and sliced veggies exciting. And this Creamy Honey Mustard Dressing is one of our new favorites to add to the rotation.

Mixed up in 5 minutes and made from mostly pantry staples, this honey mustard dip is the perfect balance of sweet, savory, tangy, and salty. Made creamy with the addition of plain yogurt, it is the perfect thing to make during meal prep to add a little pizzazz to even the simplest of meals. Utterly delicious on salads or for dipping veggies into, this honey mustard is also amazing on cooked chicken, grilled salmon, or drizzled over a grain bowl. Easy enough for even the most novice of kitchen goers, this dressing is vegetarian, gluten free, and can easily be made dairy-free when you use unsweetened almond based yogurt.

Ways to enjoy this honey mustard dressing

over a salad
as a dipping sauce for Cauliflower Chicken Nuggets
as a dipping sauce for a veggie platter
drizzled over grilled chicken or shrimp
with a spoon (no judgment, because I’ve done it.)

Time saving hack: Just toss all the ingredients in a mason jar. Screw the top on and shake shake shake! And done!

Suggested adaptations

Make it dairy-free by using a plain, unsweetened almond milk based yogurt. An unsweetened oat milk yogurt would probably work too, though I haven’t tried it. I would not recommend using coconut yogurt, as it has a strong flavor that would change the flavor of this sauce.
Use maple syrup instead of honey. The flavor would change a bit, but you’d still get the delicious mustard dressing that is tangy + sweet + savory!
