Vegan Honey Mustard Recipe
A creamy, naturally sweet mustard sauce made with applesauce and dates instead of sugar. Perfect as a spread, dip, or salad dressing base — tangy, smooth, and golden.
Equipment
- High-speed blender
- Measuring spoons
- Small airtight jar or container
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp smooth Dijon mustard check for no added sugar
- 3 tbsp unsweetened applesauce adds natural sweetness & creaminess
- 2 tbsp date paste blend soft dates with water until smooth
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice for brightness
- 2 –4 tbsp water adjust for desired thickness
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
- Blend until silky smooth.
- Taste and adjust: add more date paste for sweetness, lemon juice for brightness, or water for a thinner consistency.
- Transfer to a jar and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving — this helps the flavors meld beautifully.
Notes
Keeps well in the fridge for up to 5 days in a sealed container.
Makes a wonderful dip for veggies, spread for sandwiches, or light salad dressing when thinned with a little extra water.
The turmeric is optional, but it enhances both the color and subtle earthiness of the mustard.
