Honey Mustard Dressing

This creamy Honey Mustard Dressing is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy, lightened up with Greek yogurt...and not only is it delicious drizzled over a salad, but it also makes a yummy dipping sauce!

If you enjoy salad dressings that are on the sweeter side, you'll love Raspberry Vinaigrette and Homemade French or Catalina Dressings!

Who likes Honey Mustard Salad Dressing?

It was my favorite growing up, and after turning my affections towards Italian and Ranch for most of my adult life, I recently rediscovered my affinity for Honey Mustard.

Lightened Up

And today's version? So. Good.

It's sweet and tangy, and it boasts a secret ingredient to make it simultaneously creamy and lighter in calories and fat:

Greek yogurt instead of mayo!

AKA, only one of the best recipe swaps ever. Am I right?

When it comes to the plain Greek yogurt in this recipe, you may use full-fat/whole milk, low-fat, or even fat-free. Any of them will work in this recipe, so go with your preference.

Reasons to Make Homemade Honey Mustard Dressing

What's nice about this dressing -- aside from the flavor, and aside from the fact that it takes mere minutes to whip up -- is that it's all-natural!

You never know what questionable additives may be concealed in a bottled, store-bought salad dressing...but when you make it homemade, you get to control the ingredients yourself!

Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

And what's even more exciting (at least as far as salad dressing excitement can go) is that this Lightened-Up Honey Mustard Dressing can moonlight as a Lightened-Up Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce!

Do your kids like chicken nuggets? Are you a fan of grilled chicken strips? How about cheeseburger sliders, fried mozzarella sticks, or French fries? Pour this Honey Mustard deliciousness in a bowl and the possibilities are endless.

(Alternatively, for a thicker dipping sauce with just a handful of ingredients, you could give my Healthy Honey Mustard a try instead!) 😉

So what's your favorite type of dressing?

Has that answer changed over the years?

Whether you're a longtime enthusiast or merely looking to expand your salad dressing/dipping sauce horizons, I hope you love this Lightened-Up Honey Mustard Dressing!
