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.
Frequently asked questions:
You should be able to keep it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
It’s not recommended s 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.
It could be used as a honey mustard dip for chicken tenders or used as a dip for roasted sweet potatoes.

Amazing flavor! Just made a double batch to go with dinner tonight and lunch later this week. Such amazing flavor, I really love the lemon juice as opposed to using only vinegar! Perfect t flavor. We diced up a clove of garlic and a few thin slices of shallots. Hit it with the emerson blender and called it golden!
