We like to use clover or standard honey for this easy recipe. Wildflower honey is also good to use because it is usually pretty mild. Some of the other types of honey on the market can be very strong in flavor, or they are specialty honey from certain flowers, so they will yield different flavor outcomes to your honey mustard sauce. Using a clover or standard honey keeps this simple for this great recipe.
Make sure you use sweet paprika, also labeled as just “paprika,” for this honey mustard sauce. Smoked paprika will give your honey mustard a smoky flavor. You can try this substitution if you love smoked paprika and want a little twist to a traditional honey mustard sauce.
This sauce is the consistency of a thick yet pourable salad dressing. A mason jar is a perfect way to store this delicious homemade sauce in the fridge.

Can I make this sauce thicker?
If you want a slightly thicker sauce for dipping, add a couple of additional tablespoons of mayonnaise. You will want to start with 2 tablespoons for taste and consistency before adding more to get the desired consistency.
Can I freeze honey mustard sauce?
This honey mustard recipe will not freeze very well as the mayo will separate once thawed. Since it is quick and easy to make, we recommend making this sauce fresh. You can store this creamy sauce in the fridge for up to 1 month.
