Making some delicious honey mustard dressing does not need to take forever or be a huge hassle. If you are looking for some easy honey mustard recipes and dishes, then we have pulled together 10 of the most delightful honey mustard recipes for you to try out!
Take a look below and find your next signature honey mustard dish!
Traditional Honey Mustard Dressing
Sometimes, you can’t beat tradition! To make some delicious honey mustard dressing, then you will need:
½ cup of mayonnaise
2 tablespoons of prepared yellow mustard
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons of honey
½ tablespoon of lemon juice
Making traditional honey mustard dressing is super easy – all you have to do is mix all of these ingredients up in a bowl!
Then, cover the bowl with some plastic wrap and leave the dressing to chill overnight in the refrigerator.
Spicy Honey Mustard Dressing
If you are looking for a honey mustard dressing that you are more likely to get a kick out of, then try making some spicy honey mustard dressing instead. To make this dressing, you will need:
⅓ cup of mayonnaise
2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons of prepared yellow mustard
1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
2 tablespoons of honey
½ teaspoons of hot sauce
Just like with traditional honey mustard dressing, just whisk all of these ingredients together in a bowl to make your spicy dressing.
If you want it to be extra hot, then add a little extra hot sauce to really blow your taste buds away. Remember to cover the bowl with some plastic wrap and leave it to chill overnight in the refrigerator for a premium taste.
Vegan Honey Mustard
To make a honey mustard dressing that is suitable for your vegan guests, you will need to substitute the honey and mayonnaise with vegan alternatives. You will need:
¼ cup of prepared yellow mustard
½ cup of Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup
¼ teaspoon of garlic powder
Whisk all of the above ingredients in a bowl, cover, and leave for up to 2 weeks before serving so the dressing has time to set and get the right texture. The greek yogurt should work as a great thick substitute for mayonnaise and the maple syrup provides the same amount of sweetness as honey.
Using these ingredients will allow your vegan guests to enjoy the sweetness of honey mustard sauce without the use of an animal product.
Low Fat Honey Mustard Sauce
For a version of honey mustard that is lower in fat but maintains its delicious taste, then you will need:
¼ cup of Dijon mustard
¼ cup of mayonnaise
¼ cup of honey
2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar
¼ teaspoon of paprika
⅛ teaspoon of garlic powder
Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl with just an additional pinch of salt and pepper for extra flavor. Once again, you will need to cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave it overnight in a refrigerator to set.
Using less mayonnaise and honey lowers the fat amount, giving you a honey mustard sauce that is ideal for those watching their weight.
Honey Mustard Salad Dressing Sauce
For a lighter honey mustard dressing that is perfect for drizzling over a salad, you will need:
2 tablespoons of honey
2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
¼ cup of extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup of lemon juice
Place all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk well. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for a little extra seasoning, then either use immediately or store in an airtight container overnight. This dressing can be used up to 10 days after it has been made.
By leaving out the mayonnaise, you can create a lighter sauce that flows easier and will bring a lot of flavor over those salad greens.
Those are five different ways to make honey mustard dressing and sauce, but what about including honey mustard into your dishes?
Creamy Honey Mustard Chicken Breasts
Honey mustard pairs amazingly well with chicken, so to make some delicious honey mustard chicken breasts, you will need:
2 large chicken breasts
¼ teaspoon of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of olive oil
3 tablespoons of butter (divided)
⅓ cup of chicken broth
2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon of honey
1 cup of heavy cream
Flour
To prepare the chicken, you will need to cut them lengthwise in half and sprinkle them with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Coat them lightly in flour.
Then, heat up the olive oil and one tablespoon of butter in a skillet on medium heat.
Once the pan is hot, add the chicken and cook them until they are golden brown. Then, take them off the heat and set them aside.
Add the rest of the butter, mustard, honey, and chicken broth to the pan. Return the pan to medium heat and stir until the mustard is dissolved. Add the cream until the sauce is bubbling, then add the chicken. Cook the chicken thoroughly before serving.
Honey Mustard Chicken, Greens And Potatoes
For a delicious full chicken and veggie meal with honey mustard, you will need:
4-5 chicken thighs
1 ½ tablespoons of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
¼ cup of honey
3 tablespoons of wholegrain mustard
2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons of water
1 pound of baby red potatoes (quartered)
6 ounces of green beans (halved)
1-2 sprigs of rosemary
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Season the chicken thighs with garlic powder and some salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-proof pan or skillet over medium heat.
Cook the chicken thighs until they are golden and crisp all over.
Drain any excess juices, leaving around 2 tablespoons of juice for flavor. Add the garlic to the pan and fry for a further minute. Add the honey, mustard, and water to the pan and mix well.
Add the potatoes and mix them into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper, and leave to simmer for two minutes.
Then, transfer everything to the oven. After 30 minutes, add the green beans and rosemary and return to the oven for another 15 minutes. The chicken should be completely cooked and not pink when you serve it up.
Honey Mustard Cocktail Sausages
For this great buffet snack to serve up at parties or as an appetizer, you will need:
300g of cocktail sausages
1 teaspoon of vegetable oil
1 tablespoon of honey
1 tablespoon of mustard
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Get a baking tray and lightly oil it with vegetable oil. Place the sausages on the tray and cook for 10 minutes.
While the sausages are cooking, you can make the honey mustard by mixing the rest of the ingredients in a bowl.
Add any juices from the cocktail sauces that are on the baking tray. Once the sausages have cooked for 10 minutes, mix them into the honey mustard thoroughly.
Then, tip the sausages back onto the trap and spread them out. Cook for a further 10 -15 minutes until they are cooked through. Serve them up using cocktail sticks!
Honey Mustard Salmon
Honey mustard also pairs well with seafood like salmon. To make your own honey mustard salmon fillets, you will need:
2 pounds of salmon fillets
2 tablespoons of honey
2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
3 clothes of garlic (minced)
3 tablespoons of virgin olive oil (divided)
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 tablespoon of fresh dill (chopped)
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mix together the honey and Dijon mustard to make honey mustard. Then, whisk together with the garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, dill, and add a pinch of salt for flavor.
Prep the salmon by lining the roasting pan with aluminum foil. Oil each fillet with some olive oil and place them skin side down on the foiled pan.
Base the top side of each fillet with the honey mustard mixture. Save any leftovers for a dipping sauce.
Place the fillets in the oven for 10 minutes until they are barely cooked through. Don’t be concerned if your salmon is still rare in the center – residual heat will cook it through once you have removed the salmon from the oven.
Then you can serve the salmon alongside some salad!
Vegan Honey Mustard Salad
For a great salad to use alongside our vegan honey mustard sauce recipe, you will need:
1 cup of farro
3 cups of water
1 tablespoon of oil
2 ½ cups of sweet potato (diced)
1 medium red onion (sliced)
4 handfuls of greens
¼ cup of hazelnuts (chopped, optional)
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and spread the diced sweet potatoes and sliced onion onto the pan.
Drizzle with olive oil, and add some salt and pepper for flavor. Roast in the oven for 40 minutes until cooked and golden while you make the rest of the salad.
Boil the farro in the three cups of water for 20 minutes. Once done, you can drain any excess liquid and set it aside.
Mix up your vegan honey mustard dressing (see our recipe further above in our list) and gather your greens together in a bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the greens.
Use the greens and honey mustard as a bed for the rest of your meal. Add the farro on top, then the diced vegetables from the oven.
You can sprinkle some hazelnuts on top for some extra crunch, then dive right into your meal!
