Is There a Difference Between Honey Mustard Sauce and Honey Mustard Dressing? 

Yes! My homemade honey mustard sauce is thicker and a bit creamier than this honey mustard dressing. The honey mustard sauce has a mayonnaise base while this dressing is made from a base of oil and vinegar which gives it a slighter lighter consistency that’s perfect for salads. 

Recipe Ingredients 

Olive Oil: this helps give the dressing a smooth consistency. Make sure to choose a high-quality olive oil that you love the taste of! 

Yogurt: I prefer to use whole-milk Greek yogurt for this dressing, but low-fat or non-fat will also work. This gives the dressing a creamy texture that helps it cling to the greens in your salad. 

Apple Cider Vinegar: adds the perfect amount of tang to the dressing. 

Honey: this recipe starts with 1/3 cup of honey, but you can always add more if you prefer a sweeter dressing.

Garlic: you’ll need at least two cloves of garlic. Feel free to add more if you love a strong garlic flavor. 

Dijon Mustard: this gives the dressing its signature mustard flavor. Regular yellow mustard won’t have the same effect so be sure to grab a whole grain dijon mustard. 

Lemon Juice: fresh lemon juice adds the perfect citrus note to the dressing.
