    Simple Ingredients

    It only takes a few super simple ingredients to make Homemade Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce. Pictured are the ingredients you need to grab for the recipe:

    ingredients for making honey mustard dipping sauce
    Ingredients Clockwise: honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, kosher salt.

    Mustard: This is not the time for yellow mustard, save that for these Sloppy Joes… You want to make sure you use a Dijon Mustard! Any brand will do!

    Honey: can vary greatly in sweetness. If you feel like you have a VERY sweet honey try adding just 1 ½ tablespoon then taste before adding more.

    Mayonnaise: make sure you use mayonnaise: Hellman’s, Aldi Brand or Dukes are all great options! Do not use Miracle Whip, it is not the same!

    Step by Step

    It doesn’t take much to make a Homemade Honey Mustard Dip recipe. Just add all the ingredients to a bowl or large glass measuring cup.

    • Mayo
    • Dijon Mustard
    • Honey
    • Garlic Powder, Smoked Paprika, and Kosher Salt
    a glass measuring cup with the honey mustard ingredients ready to be whisked

    Whisk everything together until it is completely combined. This will make about ¾ cup of dipping sauce.

    Use right away or pop in the fridge!

    Storing

    Keep your homemade dipping sauce in an airtight container, a mason jar with a lid works great! It will be good in the fridge for about 3 weeks.

    Pro Tip: Make sure to note on the container when you made the batch!

    Flavor Troubleshooting

    Before you serve your Honey Mustard Dip give it a little taste and see if you want to make any adjustments. Here are some tips:

    • Too Sweet: add a little squirt of Dijon mustard and a pinch of kosher salt.
    • Too Tangy: add a smidge of honey at a time, tasting as you go.
    • Too Salty: scoop in a little more mayo, maybe a Tablespoon at a time.

    Ways to Use Your Honey Mustard Dip

    I dip, you dip, we dip…I had to add that!

    The Obvious use for this Honey Mustard recipe is dunking all the crispy chicken nuggets and fries! But it is so delicious you may want to try it on a few other things.

    a spoon pouring honey mustard into a measuring cup

    Here are some ideas to get you started:

    • Chicken Nuggets or Tenders
    • Fries, Tater Tots, Kettle Chips
    • Spread on a grilled chicken sandwich.
    • Dip for soft pretzels and pretzel bites.
    • Smear on a ham and cheese sandwich and grill or panini press it.

      I am addicted to Honey Mustard Sauce and this one is by far the easiest I’ve ever made but it also has the best flavour. I’ll be making it today to serve with our Thanksgiving Turkey and Ham tomorrow.
      Well done and I agree, I’d like to make it by the gallon and drink it!!!

      Easy and very tasty. Made it to dip roast turkey breast in. Will be trying it on sandwiches and salmon croquettes.
