Servings: 6
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey or more to taste
- 3 tablespoons classic yellow mustard
- 1/2 cup creamy mayonnaise
Round up everything so it’s easy to add and whisk.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, garlic powder, and apple cider vinegar. Next, pour in the honey.
Pro tip: Want it sweeter? Add an extra teaspoon or two of honey. Just ensure you mix it well to evenly distribute the flavors.
Note: The ingredient list includes black pepper—whisk it in during this step (or the next) so it blends evenly.
Use a whisk to thoroughly blend the ingredients. This is where the magic happens! Whisk until everything is combined, and the mixture is smooth. The creamy texture is crucial, so take your time on this step.
Here comes the fun part—taste testing! Grab a spoon and take a little dip. Do you need more honey or mustard? Adjust the flavors to fit your taste. It’s okay to tweak it until it feels just right!
Once you’re satisfied with the flavor, transfer the honey mustard into an airtight container. This sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for about one to two weeks.
