My Favorite Brands

Is Honey Mustard Healthy?
Most store-bought honey mustard sauces and dressings contain preservatives, added sugars, and unhealthy fats. Many of them also contain some of the top 8 allergens, which is why I prefer to make my own.
Is There a Difference Between Honey Mustard Sauce and Honey Mustard Dressing?
Yes. Honey mustard sauce is made with mayonnaise as the main ingredient. It is thicker and mainly used for dipping. Honey mustard dressing is made with oil as the main ingredient. The dressing is lighter and used for salads and glazes.
Whatever you use this homemade honey mustard sauce for, I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
