This simple, homemade honey dijon vinaigrette recipe takes just minutes to make using pantry staples you likely already have on hand!
Every time I share a salad dressing recipe I wax poetic about the fact that my beautiful mom always made vinaigrettes from scratch and never bought store-bought dressing. Well, why stop now?
Mom – you are the best and I’m so glad you showed me at a young age how easy it is to whisk together a fast and easy homemade salad dressing on a busy weeknight!
This honey mustard vinaigrette is always a family-favorite due to the sweet and tangy flavor combinations. Made with just five simple ingredients, the dressing is as simple as whisking together honey, dijon mustard, lemon juice, olive oil and a little salt and pepper.
Pro Tip: Make a triple batch and keep the leftovers stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Not only does making you own dressing save money but you can control the quality of the ingredients. Win Win.
Another popular options that I encourage you to check out would be my Lemon Garlic Dijon Vinaigrette or Lemon Tahini Salad Dressing.
How long does fresh salad dressing keep for?
You should be able to keep it in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
Your fork is waiting.

March 26, 2018 at 9:25 am5 stars from me! This is such a great recipe I have it posted on the side of my fridge all the time, I love it for many reasons. It is a good dip for chicken tenders, great dressing for green salads and it is great to serve as a dip with roasted sweet potatoes. This is a true winner, thank so much for posting it!! For those who love honey mustard dips for chicken and salad dressings you will especially like this one I predict. I usually double the recipe and keep extra in the fridge because I use it all the time.

August 14, 2017 at 1:15 pmHey there, just wondering can you replace the lemon juice with apple cider vinegar?
Liz DellaCroce
August 14, 2017 at 3:39 pmI wouldn’t do that as the apple cider vinegar would be too strong. I would use rice vinegar and use half the amount of lemon juice and add from there to taste. :)

January 21, 2017 at 6:49 pmThis was by far the very best Honey Mustard Dressing I have made yet, I did add a little extra honey but everything else the same. Served it over a lettuce & kale salad with toasted pecans and feta cheese with some Rosemary chicken, perfect!
