This creamy Sugar-Free Honey Mustard Sauce is nothing short of amazing! Tangy and sweet, it’s the perfect dip or dressing for all your keto veggies, salads, and appetizers. And with less than 1 gram carbs per serving, you will want to put it on everything!
To say that I am obsessed with this keto-friendly honey mustard dressing is the understatement of the year. Absolutely and utterly obsessed. I can’t stop licking the spoon as I drizzle it on everything I can think of.
Historically, honey mustard hasn’t been my favorite flavor of dressing or dip. Typically I am a ranch dressing girl. And I love my chunky feta dressing too.
But this easy recipe has made a convert out of me. I knew I would like it, but I didn’t realize I would like it this much. I eat salad for lunch almost every day now, simply so I can eat more of it.
Whip up a batch of sugar-free honey mustard sauce and let’s get dipping!
How can honey mustard be keto?
If you’ve been keto for a while, you likely know that honey isn’t remotely keto friendly. While it’s often touted as better for you than table sugar, it’s not a good choice for a sugar-free diet.
But I’ve discovered a sweetener that I love that really mimics the flavor and consistency of honey. I find myself reaching for this allulose honey frequently for both sweet and savory recipes.
Swaps for allulose honey
Now, you know I like to make my keto recipes as accessible as possible to everyone. Not everyone has access to allulose honey, so I also tested this recipe with Swerve.
I liked the flavor of the Swerve Brown the best, but it doesn’t blend in as well. In the end, I mixed it with some gently warmed avocado oil until it was mostly dissolved, before I added it to the rest of the ingredients. If you choose this route, use 3 tablespoons of Swerve in 2 tablespoons of oil.
If you can get granular allulose or BochaSweet, you can simply use 4 tablespoons whisk it right into the rest of the ingredients, as it dissolves more readily.
Ingredients
- Mustard – I prefer Dijon in this recipe but yellow mustard works too
- Mayonnaise
- Allulose honey – see above for alternatives
- Apple cider vinegar
- Cayenne
How to make Sugar Free Honey Mustard Dressing
- Whisk all of the ingredients together until smooth.
- That’s it.
Pretty complicated stuff! No, really, it is THAT easy. But if you want to thin it out more for salad dressing, simply add another tablespoon of vinegar and a tablespoon or two of avocado or olive oil.
Frequently Asked Questions
It’s all of the above! Sugar free honey mustard is incredibly versatile. Use it for a dip for veggies or wings, drizzled it over meat as a sauce, or use it for salad dressing.
Yes you can. Please see the section entitled Swaps for allulose honey above. You can really use almost any sweetener here but some are trickier to dissolve and I make suggestions in that section.
Absolutely. This keto dip and dressing has nothing in it that will spoil and will store nicely for several weeks. I recommend keeping it in a glass jar in the fridge.

Outstanding!! So tasty! Thanks for giving us this option!
I made this during the weekend, using Truvia Brown as my sweetener, and dipped chicken strips in some. Deeeelicious!!!
This is my new favorite favorite!
Carolyn- if possible I’d like to use the Choc Zero honey that I have on hand. Do you know if it would work? Ingreds say: non-gmo resistant dextrin. Water, natural honey flavor, beta carotene, monk fruit extract, natural caramel flavor.
I use ChocZero honey! It’s absolutely wonderful! I make this by the quart! I will use it on everything and anything. Even Pizza! If you aren’t a fan of cayenne like me, sub chipotle powder. Thanks for all your wonderful creations!!!!!!! ❤️ Much Love
Hi Talline-
Thanks for mentioning ChocZero honey. Can you say if it has an aftertaste? I find that the one brand I have tried has an unpleasant aftertaste (Wholesome Yum-sorry, Maya).
Will look for your response. Thanks!
Lori
Thanks for giving the measurements in grams also. I have a high end scale that as a grams setting
which I use when possible. It gives me a more accurate way to cook and saves on washing measuring
spoons and cups.
Just made this dressing and it is so addictive.
Absolutely delicious and so easy to make.
Just love it.
Absolutely AMAZING!! The answer to my salad dressing problems! Thank you for this and all of your fantastic recipes!
This is outstanding. I love it. I had bocasweet on hand. Worked very well.
This has an excellent flavor! Love it! Thanks for another great recipe!
I’ve posted previously but I just have to say it again. My refrigerator is NEVER without this dressing. It is simply fabulous. It’s so good on so many things. Salmon or tuna cakes, brats, and salads of any kind, of course. It makes a great dip for raw veggies. I particularly like it with cauliflower. And I actually made some again today even before I saw it suggested in today’s post. Today I used some as dressing on a cobb salad. Can’t resist licking the spoon either.
This is amazing! So happy to have a keto honey mustard salad dressing that is this good!
I’ve used this recipe many times. I don’t care for cayenne in my dressing, but I add dried Dill and garlic powder for enhanced flavor. Thank you for all your recipes, Carolyn!!
This is a great recipe. Being diabetic I have avoided honey mustard sauce. Nice to have found this. I suggest you look into another simple sauce to make, Jezebel Sauce. I have been making it with sugar-free Apricot and sugar-free Peach preserves. There are many recipes for the regular version on Google.
Awesome flavor!!! I will be making this every week.
Thank you! I really miss honey mustard, so I am super happy to have a keto version that I can whip up easily.
BIG thanks also for providing alternatives to allulose products, because allulose still hasn’t been approved in Canada.
Enjoy!
