Tired of the same old dips and dressings, and want to make something a little more fun and exciting? Homemade honey mustard dipping sauce is where it’s at. It’s tangy, creamy, a little bit sweet and so delicious!

And the best part is that it can be made in just 5-minutes with 4-ingredients that you’ve probably already got on hand!

It’s a delicious sauce, dip or dressing. It’s great on salads, as a glaze or marinade for meats like chicken and pork, or as a dip for tasty treats like chicken tenders or pretzel bites.

Wow, was this delish. Put it on pork chops as a sauce. The next day, we put it on a ham sandwich. Will definitely be making again.

Ingredients needed

HONEY MUSTARD DIPING SAUCE INGREDIENTS LABELED ON COUNTER
  • Yellow Mustard
  • Dijon Mustard
  • Mayonnaise
  • Honey – Or, try one of these 5+ honey substitutes.

I’m using both dijon mustard and yellow mustard in this recipe. If you only have one on hand, you can use all dijon or all yellow mustard.

The honey I use is just standard clover honey, though any type of honey will work in this recipe.

You can also change up this recipe in other ways. Don’t have honey? Maple syrup can be swapped in. Want it spicy? Add in a pinch of cayenne. Want it a bit tangier? Add in some lemon juice or vinegar (good for salad dressings).

How to make it

  • Simply stir together the mustard, mayo and honey and serve.

How to use it

  • Dipping sauce for crispy air fryer fries, chicken strips or glazed ham.
  • A marinade or glaze for chicken, salmon or pork
  • Dip for fresh veggies
  • Dressing for green salads (you may want to thin it out with a bit of vinegar for extra tang)
  • Dip for pretzel bites.
  • As a spread for burgers, wraps or sandwiches
  • Dipping sauce for sausage bites or steak bites.

How to store it

  • This sauce will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. So I’d suggest making as much or as little as you’d like. The recipe card below can be easily adjusted to make more or less servings.

    I am looking for something to use in place of cocktail sauce, I am not supposed to eat tomatoes and this looks like a great substitute. Thank you
