Texas Roadhouse Honey Mustard Recipe

One day, I visited Texas Roadhouse and ordered a salad. When they brought it to me, they served it with their famous Honey Mustard.

I drizzled the honey mustard on my salad, and trust me, it was the best salad dressing I had ever tasted! In-fact, I also tried with steam broccoli and the taste was mouthwatering.

Inspired by how amazing it was, I decided to create my own copycat Texas Roadhouse Honey Mustard Recipe.

And believe me, this version tastes just like the one at the restaurant—sweet, tangy, and creamy! I actually love the taste of this than thousand island dressing & shrimp dipping sauce.

Ingredients You Will Need

Here’s what you’ll need to make this Texas Roadhouse-inspired honey mustard:

• Honey (1/4 cup): The sweet foundation of our sauce. Use pure, high-quality honey for the best flavor.
• Dijon Mustard (1/4 cup): Provides that signature tangy kick. Dijon brings a more complex flavor compared to regular yellow mustard.
• Apple Cider Vinegar (3-4 tablespoons): Adds a bright, acidic note that balances the sweetness of honey.
• Fresh Lemon Juice (1 tablespoon): Brings a fresh, citrusy brightness to the sauce.
• Salt and Pepper: To taste, for enhancing the overall flavor profile.
• Olive Oil (1/4 cup): Helps create a smooth, creamy texture and helps emulsify the ingredients.

Substitutions & Variations

Want to switch things up? Here are some substitutions and variations:

1. No Dijon Mustard? Use yellow mustard for a milder taste.
2. Less Sweet? Reduce the honey slightly.
3. Extra Tangy? Add a little more vinegar or a squeeze of extra lemon juice.
4. Make It Spicy? Add a dash of cayenne pepper or a bit of hot sauce.
5. Thicker Dressing? Use less olive oil or add a bit of mayonnaise for extra creaminess.

Kitchen Appliances Needed

You don’t need much to make this honey mustard. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Mixing bowl – To combine the ingredients.
• Whisk – Helps blend everything together smoothly.
• Measuring cups & spoons – For accurate ingredient amounts.

How to Make Texas Roadhouse Honey Mustard (Instructions)

Step 1 | Prepare the Ingredients

Start by gathering all your ingredients in a mixing bowl. Measure out 1/4 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of Dijon mustard, 3 to 4 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.

Step 2 | Mix the Base

Combine the honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir them together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 3 | Add Olive Oil

Slowly pour in 1/4 cup of olive oil while whisking constantly with your other hand. This helps to emulsify the mixture and make it creamy.

Step 4 | Whisk Until Smooth

Keep whisking until the dressing is smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too sweet, add a little more mustard or vinegar. If it needs more sweetness, add a touch more honey.

Step 5 | Serve and Enjoy

Your homemade Texas Roadhouse Honey Mustard is ready to be drizzled over salads, dipped with crispy chicken, or spread on sandwiches!

Texas Roadhouse Honey Mustard Recipe FAQs

1. Why is my honey mustard sauce too thin?

You may have added oil too quickly or used a thinner mustard. To fix it, whisk in more mustard or add a tablespoon of mayo for thickness. Refrigeration also helps it set.

2. Can I make this sauce sweeter?

Absolutely! Add more honey, a bit of brown sugar, or even maple syrup for extra sweetness. Adjust slowly and taste as you go.

3. How spicy is this honey mustard?

It’s mild with a slight kick from Dijon. For more heat, add cayenne, hot sauce, or horseradish. For a milder version, use extra honey.

4. Can I use this as a marinade for meat?

Yes! It’s great for chicken, pork, and even salmon. Let meat marinate for at least 30 minutes. If using as both a marinade and dip, set some aside beforehand.

5. What type of mustard works best in this recipe?

Dijon mustard is recommended for its robust and complex flavor. It provides the distinctive tanginess that sets this honey mustard apart from standard varieties.

6. What if my honey mustard separates?

If separation occurs, simply whisk the sauce again before serving. The key to preventing separation is to add olive oil slowly and whisk consistently during the initial preparation.
