Simple Honey Mustard Recipe (Easy Homemade Dipping Sauce)

-

 


This honey mustard comes together in just a couple of minutes with pantry staples. It's the perfect balance of sweet and tangy, and works great as a dipping sauce or sandwich spread.

Prep Time: 2 minutes | Yield: About 1/2 cup

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (optional, adds a little tang)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
  2. Taste and adjust — add more honey for sweetness or more mustard for tang.
  3. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • This sauce pairs especially well as a spread for grilled chicken sandwiches, balancing peppery seasonings with its sweetness.
  • Also great as a dipping sauce for chicken tenders, pretzels, or fries.
  • Adjust the mayo-to-mustard ratio for a creamier or tangier result, depending on preference.

FAQ

How long does homemade honey mustard last?
Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, it keeps well for up to 2 weeks.

Can I make honey mustard without mayonnaise?
Yes, simply omit the mayonnaise for a thinner, tangier sauce that's more mustard-forward, or substitute Greek yogurt for a lighter, tangier version.

What's the difference between yellow mustard and Dijon in this recipe?
Yellow mustard adds mild tang and color, while Dijon contributes a sharper, more complex mustard flavor; using both creates a more balanced result than either alone.

What can I use honey mustard for besides dipping?
It works well as a sandwich spread, a salad dressing when thinned with a little water or extra vinegar, or a glaze for baked chicken.

Blackened Shrimp Gochujang Noodles 🛒Check for Today's Price on Amazon Why I Bought It One of the biggest reasons I chose the Tramontina Signature Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware Set is that it doesn't use a traditional nonstick coating. The cooking surface is simply stainless steel, so there's no coating to scratch, chip, or wear away over time. I wanted a quality stainless steel cookware set without paying All-Clad prices. Since I was starting a food blog and spending much more time in the kitchen, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to upgrade our cookware. Our previous "nonstick" cookware had reached the point where it wasn't nonstick at all. Scrambled eggs were especially frustrating, often sticking to the pan and making cleanup a chore.

Servings: 1 (easily multiplied) Ingredients 1.5 oz vodka 0.5 oz bottled lime juice 3 oz Fever Tree ginger beer or Aldi's Summit ginger beer(or 1.5 oz of both) Fresh mint sprig (optional garnish) Equipment Copper mugs  (or a regular glass works great) 2 oz jigger Instructions Fill your copper mug or glass with crushed ice. Add the vodka, then the lime juice, and top with ginger beer. Stir gently to combine. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig. Enjoy!
