How to make honey mustard salad dressing from pantry staples.

This Honey Mustard Salad Dressing Recipe uses Dijon mustard, white vinegar, oil, and honey.

Honey Mustard Vinaigrette - a homemade salad dressing recipe

This Honey Mustard Vinaigrette is a simple salad dressing to make. This recipe is also easy to remember and easy to adjust since you use equal parts of the four main ingredients.

I like making my own salad dressings because it allows me complete control over the ingredients. I use a certified gluten-free Dijon mustard and white vinegar to make sure that my dressing was gluten-free.

Sometimes I use a Pyrex Measuring Cup and pour in 1/4 cup of each ingredient and then blend them with a small whisk.

This salad dressing is delicious on a side salad, but you can create add chicken to the salad and make a meal of it. If I have leftover Honey Mustard Vinaigrette, I use it as a marinade for chicken.

    I’m loving this simple recipe! I’m always looking for a good vinaigrette to try, and I’m thinking this one qualifies. 🙂 I hope you can stop on by and share this or any other recipe with us on Five Friday Finds!

    I love making my own salad dressing, haven’t bought one in years. I will try this, maybe reduce the honey, since my husband is not a big fan of sweet dressing. Pinning onto my “salads” board.

    I’ve just made this and it tastes wonderful. My husband just raved about it, and I absolutely loved it. I had to cut back a bit on the amount of Dijon mustard by about a tablespoon, but I was using a brand I bought in France that is really super strong. This is such a great recipe to have on hand; thank you for sharing it.

    You can’t get much easier than that! My husband loves Honey Mustard Dressing but I can’t recall if I’ve made it for him or not. Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to try it.

    I’m already a big fan of your Catalina dressing, and this Honey Mustard recipe sounds wonderful. I totally agree, I much prefer homemade dressings for the complete control it gives me over exactly what goes in them. Reading the ingredients list for some of the store bought varieties is positively alarming sometimes!

    Looks delicious! I saved it to try next time we have a salad. By the way, I don’t think I noticed this until now but I love that your recipes are in little boxes with print in the corner. Neat!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
