While I was rummaging through my fridge for sauces to dunk my homemade baked chicken nuggets in, I realized the one sauce I really wanted was one that I didn’t have—Honey Mustard Sauce. Luckily, homemade honey mustard sauce takes only a few minutes to whip up and only requires simple pantry staples. This quick Honey Mustard Sauce was so tangy, creamy, sweet, and delicious that I couldn’t stop licking my spoon! Luckily I saved some for my chicken nuggets. :)
What is in Honey Mustard Sauce?
Honey mustard sauce is the most incredible sweet, tangy, and creamy sauce made from simple ingredients like honey, mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, and a couple spices. It takes only a few minutes to make and can be used several ways. Once you make a batch you’ll likely want to smear a little sauce on just about everything!
How to Serve:
This week I used it as a dip for my Homemade Baked Chicken Nuggets, but it also works great as:
- a dip for vegetables (try it with our Roasted Broccoli!)
- a spread for wraps and sandwiches
- Honey Mustard Broccoli Salad
- dressing for chicken salad
- dressing for green salads
- a glaze or sauce for grilled or roasted meats
How to Store:
This tasty sauce should definitely be stored in the refrigerator. I don’t suggest keeping the sauce for more than 4-5 days, so make sure you adjust your batch size to the amount you plan on using. This recipe yields about 3/4 cup honey mustard sauce, but the quantity can be adjusted in the “servings” box in the recipe below. All of the ingredients will auto adjust with the change in servings.

Seriously, though. It’s just as delicious and tangy as that looks. Time to start dipping!! …Or drizzling over everything and anything.
Used an egg free mayo replacement and it was still fantastic!
Loved this recipe!! I just eye-balled most of the ingredients, but used less mayo and more of both mustards. Made hot ham and cheese and used this as a dip – delicious!!
Really good! My husband loved it!
So easy to make and delicious. Taste so much better than store brand.
YUM, YUM!!!!!!!!!!! We will not go back to store brands. You cant beat the flavor and how easy it is to make.
Coming from someone who has NEVER had a taste for honey mustard, THIS. WAS. DELICIOUS!!! I could eat it by itself. SO delicious!! :D THANK YOU!
The best homemade honey mustard! I didn’t have any dijon mustard, used brown mustard instead. Nice tang, better than most restaurant and store bought honey mustard. Thank you

Hubby, who doesn’t like honey muatard sauce, really liked it. He’s a fussy one so it means it’s a good one!
The mayo flavor is much too strong.
My family went nuts when I made this. I had to make triple the recipe today. Thanks
To much mayonnaise taste for my liking.
Amazing mustard sauce. If I could give this a ten I would!!!
My husband really really likes this honey mustard sauce! Now his favorite to put on his sandwiches.
I will never be able to go back to store bought honey mustard! This recipe is so simple and quick to make, and so absolutely delicious it’s always in the house! Even my husband admitted it’s the best he’s tasted and is better than store bought! Thank you for this recipe!
