Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tbsps honey
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsps Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsps yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Blending: Combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, honey, and vinegar (or lemon juice) in a mixing bowl, whisking vigorously until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform consistency.
- Seasoning: Refine the sauce’s flavor profile by delicately introducing salt and pepper, tasting and adjusting to achieve a harmonious balance of sweet, tangy, and savory notes.
- Storage: Transfer the completed honey mustard sauce to an airtight container, either serving immediately for optimal freshness or refrigerating for up to one week, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify.
Notes
- Start with less honey and taste, adding more incrementally to control the sauce’s sweetness without overpowering other flavors.
- Mix different mustard types carefully to achieve a complex, layered flavor profile without making the sauce too sharp or bitter.
- Whisk thoroughly to ensure a smooth, homogeneous texture; add tiny amounts of water if sauce seems too thick.
- Use glass containers for better preservation and prevent flavor absorption from plastic containers when refrigerating.
