    Ingredient Notes

    Overhead photo of ingredients needed to make this recipe.

    Light Agave Nectar: This ingredient is the star of the show. It adds sweetness and that honey-like flavor. You can also use my recipe for Vegan Hot Honey in place of agave!

    Dijon Mustard: Dijon flavors this dressing, and also keeps the mixture emulsified. Any brand will work but Maille is my personal favorite!

    White Wine Vinegar: White wine vinegar adds a little tang to this Vegan Honey Mustard Dressing.

    Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Make sure you're using the good stuff! This add flavor and richness. And when the oil emulsifies with the dijon and vinegar, the dressing will thicken and become creamy.

    Substitutions

    If you like my Vegan Hot Honey recipe, you can use it in place of agave. I have made it both ways and its always delicious!

    Or if you don't have agave nectar, maple syrup is a delicious substitute!

    I used white wine vinegar but champagne vinegar will also work. Or apple cider vinegar works in a pinch. Don't use red wine or balsamic vinegar.

    Method

    All the ingredients in a jar.

    Step 1. Add the mustard, white wine vinegar, agave, olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper into a jar with a tight fitting lid.

    The ingredients shaken into a salad dressing.

    Step 2. Place the lid onto the jar and shake until the mixture is emulsified, about 15 seconds. And thats it!

    Recipe FAQs

    How should I store this Vegan Honey Mustard Dressing?

    Store the dressing in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator for up to a week.

    Can I make this dressing oil-free?

    I don't recommend it. But, you can reduce the olive oil to 3 tablespoons rather than 6 with delicious results.

    What is light agave nectar?

    Light refers to the color. It should be a golden, honey-like color. It is milder and more honey-like in flavor than dark agave.

    Expert Tips and Tricks

    You can also make this recipe in a bowl with a whisk. I just find shaking it in a jar to be easier.

    Uses

    This Vegan Honey Mustard Sauce is super versatile. Use it to:

    • Dress green salads.
    • Top grain salads like my Vegan Farro Salad or Mediterranean Couscous Salad.
    • Add into a wrap with hummus and veggies.
    • Dunk vegan chicken nuggets into.

    And so much more!
