Elevate your salads, sandwiches, and dips with this irresistibly creamy Red Robin Honey Mustard Poppy Seed Dressing! Featuring a harmonious blend of tangy Dijon mustard, rich mayonnaise, sweet golden honey, and zesty apple cider vinegar, this homemade dressing delivers a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. Poppy seeds add a subtle nuttiness and an eye-catching texture, while freshly ground black pepper rounds out the taste. Ready in just 10 minutes, this versatile dressing can be tailored to your preferred consistency and refrigerated to enhance its flavors. Whether you drizzle it over crisp greens or use it as a dipping sauce, this easy-to-make favorite brings restaurant-quality flair to your kitchen.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and honey. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the apple cider vinegar to the bowl and whisk again to blend evenly.
Stir in the poppy seeds, salt, and black pepper until fully mixed.
If the dressing is too thick for your liking, gradually whisk in water, a teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed (add a pinch more salt or honey to balance the flavors).
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled over a salad, as a dip, or as a flavorful sandwich spread. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
