Why I Love This Honey Mustard Sauce

There’s something super satisfying about creating a delicious sauce from scratch, and homemade honey mustard is no exception. This versatile condiment is a delightful blend of sweetness and tanginess that elevates any dish it accompanies. Whether you’re drizzling it over a fresh salad as a thick dressing, using it to dip crispy chicken strips, or spreading it on a sandwich, honey mustard adds a burst of flavor that store-bought versions can’t quite seem to match. The best part for me is that it’s incredibly easy to make at home with just a handful of pantry staples.

Serving Suggestions

To serve: Use this honey mustard sauce as a dip for any number of meats, such as chicken strips or the perfect roast chicken breast, or as a condiment on hot dogs or brats. To use this dressing on a salad, you may want to thin it out slightly with additional neutral oil.

To store: Place any leftover sauce in a tight-fitting container and place in the fridge for 5 to 7 days. The sauce may separate slightly in the refrigerator, so simply give it a stir before using.
