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?
Happy 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 🙂
Okay, 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 🙂
Happy 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!!!
This 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 🙂
I’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!
Great idea! I’m sure you’ll like it!
I 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?
I’m hoping to adapt this for a slow-cooker honey mustard pork…. Will the egg in the sauce make it cook weird?!
I’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 🙂
I made this last night for your Crispy Paleo Chicken Tenders and it was SO good! (so were the tenders!) Definitely a keeper!
This sauce is to die for. Good on anything. Using it tonight for corned silverside and vegetables.
Just made this dressing for the first time. It was the perfect dressing to go with my radicchio and romaine salad. It’s just a little sweetness cut through the bitterness of the radicchio. I didn’t change anything about the recipe but I did use one of my chicken’s fresh eggs.
