This bright dressing combines the flavors of Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice for a sweet and tangy bite. It's a healthy, homemade version of a beloved dip that's thick and creamy from an egg and oil emulsion while still being loose enough to easily drizzle.
Why I Love This Recipe
Creamy Honey Mustard Dressing is made with common household ingredients: egg, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, and olive oil. It's an easy recipe that's all brought together in one jar and ready in only 5 minutes.
Moreover, this homemade dressing taste so much better than store bought! I really cannot oversell it. It has a fresh, bright, clean taste even the best quality store bought brand can't compete.
This creamy dressing is delicious on salads, but it's also a great dip for baked chicken, chicken nuggets or fresh raw veggies. On top of that, after it's chilled, it's thick enough to use as a condiment for sandwiches or wraps. My 6 year old has asked me to pack this dressing in his lunch everyday since school started.
I used to be intimidated by homemade dressings, since I had never made one or seen anyone else make one. After trying some homemade dressings/vinaigrettes myself and seeing how easily they are made, I was hooked. Give it a try and you'll be hooked too!
The best oil for this dressing
Extra virgin olive oil is too strong of a flavor for this recipe. Instead, choose light olive oil. When mixed with eggs, it emulsified creating the smooth creamy texture of this dressing.
What if I don't own an immersion blender?
You can use a blender, food processor, or immersion blender to make this dressing. I typically use an immersion blender. It might take a little longer for the dressing to fully emulsify if using a food processor or blender. Be patient, make sure to start with room temperature ingredients and it will all come together!
If the dressing seems thin after blending, no worries! It thickens up and gets extra creamy after being chilled.
Keeping this dressing paleo compliant
Finally, if you're currently living the paleo lifestyle, make sure the Dijon Mustard you get is paleo approved. Primal Kitchen typically has good quality and taste and is one of my go to brands.
