3-Ingredient Honey Mustard Dressing

3-Ingredient Honey Mustard Dressing is your new go-to for effortless, crave-worthy flavor! This easy homemade dressing combines the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and creamy using only Dijon mustard, honey, and apple cider vinegar. It comes together in just two minutes and instantly elevates everything from salads to sandwiches, grilled chicken, wraps, and more.

What’s better? There are no preservatives or weird extras—just pure, bold flavor made from pantry staples. Whether you’re drizzling it over a fresh spring mix or using it as a dipping sauce for roasted veggies or tenders, it’s endlessly useful and totally customizable.

Here’s a fun bite of history: honey mustard exploded in popularity during the 1970s as a favorite dip for chicken nuggets—and lucky for us, the obsession never faded. Now, this 3-Ingredient Honey Mustard Dressing brings that iconic combo to life in its simplest, freshest form.

Recipe Yield: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

3 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Whisk It Together:
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, and apple cider vinegar until completely smooth and emulsified.

2. Taste and Adjust:
Give it a quick taste. If you prefer it a bit sweeter, add another ½ tbsp honey. For more tang, add a splash more vinegar. It’s easy to customize!

3. Chill or Serve Immediately:
Use right away or refrigerate in a sealed jar or container. Shake before each use. It keeps fresh in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe

• Use Quality Dijon: A smooth, stone-ground Dijon adds richness and depth—avoid yellow mustard for this dressing.
• Balance Is Key: Start with equal parts and tweak based on taste—some like it sweeter, others like that vinegar bite.
• Make It Creamy: For a thicker version, add 1 tbsp Greek yogurt or mayo (still delicious with just 3 main ingredients!).
