This simple Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce only requires 5 ingredients and lasts for at least a week in the fridge. Only takes minutes to whip up!

This sauce takes recipes like Homemade Chicken Nuggets or Herbalicious Chicken Bites over the top! I’ll share some more ideas for how to use it below.

Ingredients in Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

Like I mentioned, you only need 5 ingredients to whip up this creamy, sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy sauce. Here’s what you need to grab at the store…

ingredients for honey mustard dipping sauce
  1. Mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt)
  2. Dijon mustard
  3. Honey
  4. Fresh lemon juice
  5. Cayenne pepper

How to Make Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

To make dipping sauce, simply stir together all the ingredients in a small bowl. The flavors get even better the longer it sits in the fridge, so you may want to make this a few hours in advance.

How Should I Store This Sauce?

This condiment will last 1-2 weeks (maybe longer) in the refrigerator, assuming you used mayo that isn’t near its expiration date. However, we don’t recommend freezing it. When it thaws, it will separate and the texture will get funky.

If you like the idea of this recipe, be sure to give our Avocado Aioli a try. It works well as a spread on sandwiches like our Gourmet BLTs or as a dipping sauce for crispy, fried foods and more.
