This creamy honey mustard dressing is made with greek yogurt instead of mayo and comes together in just 5 minutes! It’s tangy, sweet and makes for the perfect salad dressing or dipping sauce.

I love a good classic honey mustard dressing, but lately I’ve been obsessed with the Bolthouse Farms honey mustard yogurt dressing. Given my love for homemade salad dressings I wanted to take a stab at recreating this recipe at home and the end result was this creamy honey mustard dressing.

It’s nice and creamy and has the perfect balance of tangy and sweet. It’s seriously so good and has quickly become one of my new favorite homemade dressings to make. I’ve been loving it drizzled over my grilled chicken salad or salmon cobb salad, but it’s delicious over anything!

Why You’ll Love This Dressing

Healthier and cheaper – While I love the Bolthouse Farms honey mustard yogurt dressing, it’s still made with processed ingredients and preservatives so making your own dressing is much healthier. Plus, it’s cheaper!
Easy to make – It can be whipped up in 5 minutes with just 7 pantry staple ingredients (plus salt and pepper).
Versatile – This dressing pairs well with a variety of different salads and grain bowls, but it can also be used as a marinade or dip.

Ingredients Needed

Ingredients measured out to make Creamy Honey Mustard Dressing: Greek yogurt, honey, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, dijon, sea salt, pepper, garlic powder and olive oil.

greek yogurt – adds creaminess and a slight tang, making the dressing smooth and rich. I recommend full fat Greek yogurt, but you can use low-fat or non-fat if needed.
dijon mustard – can’t make honey mustard without mustard! I prefer using dijon mustard because the flavors are more robust, but traditional yellow mustard also works. Just know that yellow mustard does have more vinegar so you may want more honey or less apple cider vinegar to balance that out!
honey – this is what gives the dressing the sweetness that helps to balance out the tang.
apple cider vinegar – grab a good, high quality apple cider vinegar and one with “the mother” included. I like Bragg’s apple cider vinegar!
lemon juice – adds freshness and helps to really brings out the flavors of the dressing!
garlic powder – this is just for extra flavor. Feel free to use 1 clove of fresh garlic if you’d like instead.
olive oil – I recommend using a higher quality extra virgin olive oil for salad dressings like this. You can skip this if you want to keep the dressing lighter.

Substitutions & Notes

Apple cider vinegar: White wine vinegar or regular white vinegar can be used in place of apple cider vinegar.
Garlic powder: Fresh minced garlic can be used for a more intense garlic flavor.
Make it dairy-free: You can use a dairy-free yogurt to make this dressing dairy-free.
Skip the oil: To make this dressing lower in calories and fat you can omit the oil all together. I’ve tested this recipe without the oil and it still turned out creamy and delicious!

How to Make

Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and more in a glass jar before being mixed.

Step 1: Add all your ingredients to a mason jar, or a small bowl.

Brittany’s Tip

To keep this dressing lighter in calories and fat, simply skip the olive oil! It’s delicious both ways.

Storing Options

I recommend storing leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week in the refrigerator. I use these 8 oz mason jars and plastic lids for storing so I can easily shake to re-mix the ingredients before serving.
