INSTRUCTIONS
Make the mustard sauce by combining all the ingredients in a mason jar. Close the lid and give it a good shake so all the flavor can blend nicely.
If you have time, transfer the honey mustard to the fridge for at least 15-30 minutes so the ingredients can combine perfectly.
Keep it in the fridge at all times before serving. Makes about 1 cup of sauce.
NOTES
Add Frank’s red hot sauce or other similar hot sauce for a little spiciness kick!
Aromatics such as cilantro, parsley, and chives are all great ways to mix things up and add freshness to the sauce. Use dried herbs as an alternative.
Be cautious when adding honey, taste test, and add more or start with less, in the beginning, depending on your personal preferences. I like the sauce well balanced, not too sweet, and not too bitter or salty.
Make a honey mustard dipping sauce - simply add a little more mayonnaise and even sour cream would work. Combined with mayo makes a perfect thick dip for chicken tenders, fried foods, veggies, cheeses, and many more. You may want to tweak the quantities until you reach the desired result.
Keep the sauce in an airtight container or mason jar in the fridge for up to 5 days. Let come to room temperature before serving.
