Creamy Paleo Honey Mustard that can be used as a dip or dressing for anything your heart desires! With just 6 simple ingredients and an immersion blender, this sweet and tangy honey mustard will be ready in under 5 minutes. It’s gluten free, soy free, dairy free, and contains no refined sugar.
One thing that makes my nerves crawl is the idea of not delivering on a promise. Subsequently, I do not make many (any?) promises because I just get too anxious. General responsibilities I’m fine with. Even a lot of responsibilities are okay. But there is something about the word, the idea of a promise that gets me all worked up.
And you are wondering how I’m tying this together with honey mustard. I know what you’re thinking – I can see you AND read your mind though the screen. Hello! Don’t click away yet! Anyway, it ties together with the recipe because I’m almost positive I promised a honey mustard recipe last week, or at least told you it would be here very soon, when I gave you these tasty little chicken nuggets:
Remember these? They’re still waiting for you, and now you don’t have to worry what you’ll dip them in! What a relief.
Back to my promise issue though. I truly hate the thought of disappointing people. Part of me knows it’s ridiculous and even sort of narcissistic to think that my actions or non actions matter THAT much to anyone. But, if there’s one thing I value, it’s reliability. So, I can’t help but feel that if I promised honey mustard and for some reason it didn’t happen, someone out there would cry. Or decide they hate me.
Or, maybe worst of all, decide I’m one of “those people”, the ones who make promises because they sound good at the time, without the intent and follow through. I would rather avoid the idea of promises altogether than be viewed that way I suppose.
So, if I do happen to promise something, you can be pretty certain it will happen and happen soon. But I can’t actually promise you that so maybe it’s time to shut up and move along to the honey mustard. No promises, but I think you might like it. A lot. At least I hope you will!

And what else is new besides this recipe? 3 things:
First, Diana turns 8 today!
This is not her birthday party but she chose this picture because she was happy eating pizza. Totally get it.
So, 8 years a mom and 3 kids, and you wonder why I have promise issues? Just kidding, I was nutty long before I had children.
Second, we leave for vacation tomorrow, you know, right after my 17 mile run is supposed to happen. Should be interesting, and hopefully the extra travel adrenaline – “flight” – will make me fly through this run. We’ll see.
Since I’ll be away at the beach next week, my posting schedule will be lighter. But don’t you worry, I will not abandon ship. My marathon training week 5 recap will be up Monday, and I have 2 recipes that will post Wednesday and Friday. I’ll still be on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, most likely with beachy pictures, so come visit!
Do you hesitate to make promises?
Would you have cried if I didn’t deliver honey mustard?
When were you last let down by an unfulfilled promise?

Michele says
August 14, 2015 at 6:42 pmThanks! She had a great birthday, actually made them french toast for dinner 🙂 Really wish the run was done already!

August 14, 2015 at 7:11 amHappy birthday Dianna! Also, I better see a pic of you in compression on the plane 😀
Well, now you’ve done it. I must have chicken nuggets and honey mustard tonight. There is nothing else for it!
Michele says
August 14, 2015 at 6:42 pmHaha no plane but I’ll be rocking my socks in the car 🙂

August 14, 2015 at 8:56 amHappy Birthday Diana!!
I’m totally with you on the promises, especially to kids…don’t make them if you can’t keep them! Have a wonderful beach vacation, looking forward to pic’s of you relaxing, possibly with a tropical umbrella drink 😉
Michele says
August 14, 2015 at 6:44 pmThank you! Maybe I can put an umbrella in my red wine 😉
Margaret @ youngandrungry says
August 14, 2015 at 9:47 amI probably would have cried because I am so pumped for any reason to use my immersion blender! Hope you have a great vacation and continued birthday celebrations! Thanks for the recipe
Michele says
August 14, 2015 at 6:44 pmImmersion blender love all the way 🙂 It really is great for sauces! And thank you 🙂
Strength and Sunshine says
August 14, 2015 at 11:15 amHomemade condiments!!! (I’m disappointed that you use a scary egg)…but still, honey mustard is so good! Chicken nugget dipping essential! I remember squirting ketchup and honey mustard side by side on my plate and then where they overlapped a bit, I would mix them together…so I can “3” choices (hahahaha kid-food-kinda-grossness) 😉
Michele says
August 14, 2015 at 6:45 pmI don’t think I’ve ever done the ketchup/hm combo but I can see where that’s a kid thing. Emily makes ketchup cucumber sandwiches and arranges them in designs on her plate. Dips are fun 🙂

August 14, 2015 at 11:44 amHappy Birthday to Diana!
I definitely would have been disappointed if you did not post the recipe… ;).
For a long time I would hold my mom accountable for a promise she made when I was SIX years old and when we still lived in Germany. She promised me we were going to go to the movie theatre the next day and instead we went someplace that I HATED and required about 2 hours of transportation. Left a very deep scar I suppose :P.
Michele says
August 14, 2015 at 6:47 pmThat’s exactly why promises are bad! We remember these things!

August 14, 2015 at 11:49 amwow happy birthday to Diana!!!! 8 is my favorite number, infinite 🙂 and have a marvelous vacation!!! and omg have a great 17 miler for me!!!! big high fives and twirls to all that!
now i’m craving some sausage to go with this honey mustard, thank you 😀 happy friday and have a fabulous time Michele!!!
Michele says
August 14, 2015 at 6:48 pmThank you so much! I need lots of luck for my early 17 miler that keeps getting pushed earlier! Actually had the honey mustard with fish today – delicious!
Kate Bennett says
August 14, 2015 at 3:10 pmHoney mustard is definitely a favorite condiment of mine, but I usually just combine honey, mustard, and olive oil. This looks way creamier!
What are you thoughts on honey as a FODMAP? Do you find it to be non-issue for you?
Michele says
August 14, 2015 at 6:56 pmThis is definitely nice and creamy! I did try eliminating honey since it’s a FODMAP but didn’t really notice a difference one way or another. Maybe it’s an amount thing? I think you could replace the honey with maple syrup and it would be totally fine, possibly more of a liquid that a dip? Or maybe no difference at all 🙂
AmandaM says
August 15, 2015 at 5:54 amHappy Birthday to Diana! I hope you have a great, relaxing vacation. Also hope your 17 miler is going well! Assume you are running as I type this 🙂

August 16, 2015 at 10:04 amOkay, it’s only 9 in the morning and now I’m craving chicken nuggets and honey mustard! Looks yummy! I’ll definitely be giving it a try 🙂
Lauren says
August 16, 2015 at 7:32 pmHappy Birthday Diana! I just made the honey mustard. I love it–already dipped some carrots in it! Hope you have a great vacation. We are starting our second week of school!!!
Michelle @ Unbound Wellness says
August 17, 2015 at 10:38 pmThis looks amazing! I’m AIP and I have a mustard intolerance, but once I reintroduce it, I’m trying this! I miss honey mustard so much. Thanks for sharing 🙂
renaissancerunnergirl says
August 19, 2015 at 3:37 amI’m in my friend’s flat in London right now on holiday and am about to make this recipe for us to try tonight as she is dairy free in addition to my gluten free, and is American and misses honey mustard!
Michele says
August 19, 2015 at 2:45 pmGreat idea! I’m sure you’ll like it!
Mallory says
October 23, 2017 at 7:49 pmI just made this today, and did a double-batch (not realizing how much it would make, haha!). Do you think the extra would be fine to freeze?
Anna Burrill says
March 14, 2018 at 2:59 pmI’m hoping to adapt this for a slow-cooker honey mustard pork…. Will the egg in the sauce make it cook weird?!
Michele says
March 15, 2018 at 8:58 amI’m not sure how that would work, I have another honey mustard recipe without an egg though that might do better:
this uses dates to sweeten but you can use honey instead if you prefer 🙂
