Make delicious Honey Mustard Salad Dressing (½ cup total) in under 5 minutes! Drizzle this simple dressing on a favorite mixed green salad.
I don’t know about you, but I am always looking for ways to make “store-bought” salad dressings right at home in our kitchen. There’s something very satisfying to be able to make it myself.
Since our sons are grown and live on their own, it takes quite a while for my husband and I to use up entire bottles of purchased salad dressing. Don’t get me wrong- they taste great, but I enjoy saving money by making it myself… in much smaller quantities!
Today I am sharing a tried and true recipe for Honey Mustard Salad Dressing. I’ve had this recipe for years and years written on a 3″ x 5″ index card, and the original source for the recipe is completely unknown.
This salad dressing boasts fabulous flavor and will be a definite hit, drizzled on a favorite green salad, because it’s so good! Here’s how to make it.

What Ingredients Are Used For The Salad Dressing
The ingredients you will need to make this honey mustard salad dressing are apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt and pepper.
That’s it! I always have these common ingredients around, so it is no problem whenever I want to make a small jar of salad dressing!
Okay- Let’s Make The Salad Dressing!
This recipe will yield about ½ cup total of honey mustard salad dressing, but you can double or triple the amounts, if you need more.
Place 4 Tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and 4 Tablespoons of vegetable oil in a jar that has a tight fitting lid. Shake the jar very well for about one minute, until the oil and vinegar have become fully incorporated and emulsified.
I typically use a small canning jar or a small bottle (with a lid) to make homemade salad dressing. Below you can see the amount of oil and vinegar in the jar, before adding the remaining ingredients.
Add 2 Tablespoons of Dijon mustard and 2 Tablespoons of honey into the jar. TIP: Use a spoon and carefully add them to the jar, one spoonful at a time.
In the past I tried using a funnel to get the Dijon and honey into the bottle, but don’t recommend it. I thought it might be easier, but it was too messy, and not all the honey and Dijon make it into the jar with this method!
Ready To Use The Honey Mustard Salad Dressing
Add salt and pepper to the jar (1/8 teaspoon each, plus more, if desired, to suit your taste). Put the lid securely on the jar and shake very well, until all the ingredients are fully mixed.
At this point, the honey mustard salad dressing is ready to be used. I highly recommend refrigerating it for at least an hour, to let the flavors really have a chance to come together.
When you’re ready to use the salad dressing (especially after refrigerating), shake the jar really well, to ensure the oil/vinegar mixture is fully combined.
Pour it over a beautiful, chilled mixed green salad, and dig in! This salad dressing is wonderful, and I think you will really enjoy it!
I hope you have the chance to try this yummy, simple honey mustard salad dressing recipe, and trust you’ll like it as much as we do!
