Honey Mustard Salad Dressing
How do you make honey mustard from scratch? It’s super easy and takes less than 5 minutes to create your own honey mustard salad dressing!
Everyone has their favorite honey mustard sauce. Me, I always preferred the honey mustard dressing served at Cracker Barrel restaurants.
It was sweet, tangy, and smooth. I used to order the fried chicken tender sandwich with extra honey mustard on the side.
Today, we’re sharing our version of that famous dressing. Just like our poppy seed salad dressing, homemade Caesar dressing, and our creamy garlic dressing, this one only uses a few ingredients and takes less than 5 minutes to make.
The best part about this sauce is that you can modify it to taste like your favorite brand of mustard dressing.
For example, like it sweeter? Then add more honey. Don’t want it to be spicy? Then use stone ground mustard instead of Dijon.

How do you thicken honey mustard?
The easiest way is make a corn starch slurry by combining 3-tablespoons of water with 1-tablespoon of corn starch.
Afterward, place the honey mustard into a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the slurry as the mixture heats.
Continue mixing the dressing until it reaches your desired consistency. Once that happens, remove it from the heat because you’re done.
