Alright, I just have to share this super easy, quick, and versatile honey mustard recipe. Instead of honey, I just use stevia and/or luo han guo (monkfruit) to sweeten this sauce (making it sugar-free!).
I then use with everything from scrambled eggs to chicken strips – or even as a veggie dip.
It’s so delicious that all my house guests want it with their eggs too, so I’ve had to double my usual recipe!
Just 5 ingredients – it’s simple, but THAT GOOD.
Herby Honey Mustard Sauce Recipe
- 1 and 1/2 cups cold-pressed oil Mayonnaise*
- 1/4 cup mustard
- 1/4 cup fresh herbs or 4 tsp dry (basil, cilantro, thyme, oregano, chives, parsley, etc.)
- 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/8 tsp stevia powder – you can also use Monkfruit or Luo Han Guo as a sweetener
*If you can’t use my recipe to make your own mayo, then find a store brand made from a cold-pressed healthy oil. Avocado, olive oil, sunflower etc are good. Avoid canola or soybean oil, and check that it doesn’t contain sugar (or else this recipe won’t be sugar-free!).
Note: If you really dislike the aftertaste of stevia or monkfruit, you can easily mask it by adding 1 tsp of honey, or agave, or coconut sugar. Of course, it won’t be sugar-free, but it’s still far less sugar than usual.

Hi Karen – thanks for reaching out. Here is a blog post that Jini wrote on healthy weight gain which should be helpful to you: https://blog.listentoyourgut.com/healthy-weight-gain/
Hi Jini…thanks for this recipe, I’ll bet it’s yummy on salmon too!
But I have a question, can you please explain why it needs to be sugar free? Would eating local raw honey be considered unhealthy? Is there a post somewhere explaining the benefits of stevia over honey? If I understand correctly our cells run on glucose so I’m trying to understand the “sugar is unhealthy” angle. Thanks so much for all you do!
Oh yes – it’s fabulous with salmon! It does not need to be sugar-free – I just have a lot of readers who are avoiding sugars, or going completely sugar-free for a period of time. I also always try to reduce sugar wherever it doesn’t matter, and save my sugar for when it counts (chocolate or cake!).
So yes, you can just sweeten entirely with honey if you prefer. Raw unpasteurized honey has it’s own benefits.
