I had dijon mustard as a salad dressing, and it was pretty tasty. However, I'm wondering if it is unhealthy or not. What about fat free dijon mustard? I heard that even though some dressings are said to be fat free, sometimes the dressing still has a lot of sugar or perhaps other things in it.

Dijon mustard itself is mustard seed and vinegar, should not contain any fat. If it was dijon salad dressing, then it could well have contained some fat. But some fat is needed in your diet -- just need a balance and not excessive total fat consumption in a day.
Salad dressing is healthy if used in small amounts, especially if it is tasty and helps you eat more vegetables. Bottled dressings may contain fat, sugar and preservatives but if you just use a tablespoon or less, you won't get much.
Of course, if you make your own, you can control the ingredients. Use lemon or orange juice instead of vinegar so that you can reduce oil content. Or use some low fat yoghurt to make it creamy. See below for a recipe.

You could try a recipe for pizza. Making a healthy version of that shouldn't be too challenging either.

If you need to be concerned about sugar or fat, please read the label. For you, maybe it's not so great.
