Light Honey Mustard Salad Dressing is made from scratch and comes together in minutes. This dressing is tangy, sweet, and full of flavor.
My light honey mustard salad dressing is a new staple in my refrigerator. You’ll love that it’s lower in calories than the average store bought dressing too.
My favorite part is that you only need a few ingredients, all of which I happened to have on hand.
I excluded mayonnaise from this recipe, which is commonly found in honey mustard dressing recipes. For this reason, my dressing is a little thinner, but it’s absolutely packed with flavor.
Plus, this helps lower the calorie count. So, you can feel better about what you’re adding to your salad.

For this recipe, you’ll need an 8 ounce mason jar. Simply add your ingredients to the mason jar, seal, and shake.
Once your mixture looks fully combined, it’s ready to go. Store in the refrigerator for up to a month.
If you don’t have a mason jar on hand, feel free to whisk your ingredients in a bowl instead, storing your finished dressing in any sealable container.

So perfect and so light in calories! Thank you for sharing 😊
Glad you enjoy it Carissa!
I found it to be incomplete. The flavour needed to be rounded out so I added another tablespoon of honey, a tablespoon of grapeseed oil and 2 cloves of garlic. It’s better but not best. I will say that my Maille Dijon seemed stronger than usual but still, I like at least some oil in my dressing.
Thank you for the thoughtful review, Janice! I’m sorry that you didn’t enjoy the salad dressing as much as you had hoped. I’m looking to update some of my older recipes – I will add this one to the list to tinker with.
So good! Turned out better than I thought!
I loved this dressing, especially that it had no oil in it. I am trying not to use oil these days. It was tangy and just right for my taste. I poured a little bit of it on my roasted veggies today and it was good.
