Homemade Mayo: I highly recommend this! It is made with avocado oil and a few other simple ingredients. It makes a great base for this honey mustard, and is much healthier than store-bought mayonnaise.
Spice it Up: This recipe is easily customizable. Add in a little spice if you like, or add in a splash of olive oil or white wine vinegar for a tangy salad dressing.
Chill Time: Although this honey mustard is definitely delicious if used right away, I find the longer it sits in the fridge the better it gets! For best results, let it chill for 30 minutes to an hour to really let the flavors meld.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use yellow mustard instead of Dijon?

Yes! Yellow mustard will give the honey mustard a slightly milder flavor, while Dijon is a bit more tangy. Both are delicious, so use whichever you prefer or have on hand.

Can I use this as a salad dressing?

Yes. I do this often! If you like, you can thin the honey mustard with a little water, olive oil, or lemon juice until it reaches a pourable consistency.

What can I do if my honey mustard is too sweet or tangy?

This recipe is easy to adjust. If it’s too sweet, simply add more mustard or a squeeze of lemon juice. Too tangy- add more honey!
