This easy honey mustard dressing is sweet, tangy, and creamy — perfect for salads, dipping, or drizzling over roast vegetables. Made in 5 minutes with store cupboard staples!
The original recipe appeared in the June/July 2022 easyFood magazine in a 2 page spread of 6 DIY dressings. All of the dressings really appealed...this is the second one I've made.
It's a perfect dressing to enjoy with a chicken salad, as a dressing for a warm potato salad, or to dress a green salad or vegetables alongside a roast ham.
The balance of honey, mustard and acidity in the dressing is perfect!
Tips
- Mustards - use Dijon for a smooth sharp flavour, wholegrain for texture or yellow mustard for a more American-style version.
- Optional add-ins - try adding some Greek yogurt, sour cream or mayo for a creamy version, or a pinch of cayenne pepper, paprika or chilli flakes, or a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
- The recipe makes quite a large quantity of honey mustard dressing, but it's easily reduced if you want to make less.
