Ingredients
¼ cup Dijon mustard
2 tbsp Yellow mustard
3 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp Mayonnaise
¼ tsp Garlic powder
¼ tsp Freshly ground black pepper
Salt to taste
Instructions
1. Combine: In a medium bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, and honey until smooth and well-combined.
2. Emulsify: Whisk in the apple cider vinegar and mayonnaise until the sauce is glossy and perfectly emulsified.
3. Season: Add garlic powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Whisk to distribute spices.
4. Adjust: If a thinner consistency is preferred, whisk in a teaspoon of warm water or additional vinegar.
5. Rest & Store: Let the sauce rest at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Notes
Pro-Tips:
• Let the sauce rest for 15 minutes before serving; this is crucial for the mustard and honey to develop their full flavor profile.
• If the sauce separates after refrigeration, give it a quick whisk to bring it back together.
• For a lighter sauce, you can substitute the mayonnaise with an equal amount of plain Greek yogurt.
Variations:
• Spicy: Add a dash of hot sauce or ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper for heat.
• Textural: Use stone-ground or whole-grain mustard in place of Dijon for a rustic, textured sauce.
• Citrus: Replace half the vinegar with fresh lemon juice for a brighter, more zesty flavor.
