Honey Mustard Dressing Recipe

Honey Mustard Dressing is one of my family’s favorite dressings to use with chicken fingers, on a simple salad, or even on sandwiches from time to time.
One of the best things about making my own Honey Mustard Dressing is that I know exactly what all goes into the jar as I’m mixing it up. I take a Mason jar, add all of my ingredients, screw on the lid and give it a good shake. In just a few minutes, I have an absolutely scrumptious Honey Mustard Dressing perfect for keeping on hand for serving with so many dishes.
My Honey Mustard Dressing recipe includes just a few ingredients that you won’t find in the classic Honey Mustard Dressing recipes. It adds just an extra little something-something to it. First, I add a little bit of cumin to add a bit of a smokey depth to the dressing. I also add a bit of cayenne pepper to add just a hint of a kick when you eat it. Of course, if you have issues with cayenne pepper, you can reduce the amount in the recipe or simply omit it. However, if you don’t, I can’t recommend it enough!

Thanks so much, Karin. I hope you find many more recipes you like.
This one looks amazing! And I always love a touch of vibrant color for summer dinners:)
How long does this keep in the fridge before going bad? Thanks!
I found the cumin to be a bit powerful (maybe 1/4 tsp next time), but overall a delicious dressing. My husband loved it!
I am so going to make this replacing the mayo wirh greek yogurt.yum
I loved it…I was so hungry that I forgot the lemon and it was still very good, but I wanted to know how long can I keep it in fridge before it spoils
This looks WONDERFUL. How long does it keep in the fridge? Have you tried it with the Greek Yogurt as well, or is mayo better?
I love making my own dressings 🙂 I try and make some fresh each week. This recipe looks yummy!
