🍯 Is honey vegan?
No, honey is not vegan. People have varying opinions about the ethics of harvesting and eating honey, but the bottom line is since it's from an animal, then honey is not vegan. However, many people who identify as plant-based do eat honey, just no other foods that are derived from animals.
🐝 Honey substitutions
If you still want the flavor and texture of honey, but you are vegan, you can use Bee Free Honee. It's a product made from apples, yet it has a surprisingly similar taste to real honey. You can also easily make it yourself using my vegan honey recipe made from apple juice.
If you're not super picky about having the exact honey flavor, then agave nectar is also a good vegan honey alternative and can be substituted in most recipes.
🧾 Ingredients
Yellow Mustard - this is just plain regular mustard you can get at any store. You can also use brown spicy mustard or dijon mustard for more flavor.
Agave Nectar - agave is the easiest honey substitute to find, but you can also use Bee Free Honee or my homemade apple honey. You can also use maple syrup as a sweetener, but this will not give you the same honey flavor.
Sea Salt - for flavor.
Garlic Powder - or onion powder for flavor (optional).

🥗 Vegan honey mustard dressing
If you want honey mustard salad dressing, add 1 tbsp. of white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar) and whisk until creamy to turn it into a honey mustard vinaigrette! Pour it on your salad or use it as a dip for carrot sticks or veggies.
Spread it on sandwiches or use it as a dip for crispy fried tofu, vegan popcorn chicken, cauliflower nuggets, vegan chicken nuggets, seitan wings, or vegan chicken patties!
However you chose to use it, it will add a sweet and tangy burst of flavor to your meal!
🥡 Storage
