Ingredients
Sauce Base:
- 60 ml Dijon mustard
- 60 ml yellow mustard
- 60 ml honey
- 30 ml mayonnaise
Seasonings:
- 5–10 ml hot sauce (such as Tabasco or sriracha)
- 0.5 ml cayenne pepper (optional)
- 5 ml apple cider vinegar (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, honey, mayonnaise, hot sauce, optional cayenne pepper, apple cider vinegar if using, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Adjust Flavor: Taste the sauce and adjust the flavor by adding more honey if you prefer it sweeter or additional hot sauce for more heat, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop their full depth before serving.
Notes
- For a milder sauce, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper and hot sauce.
- The mayonnaise adds creaminess but can be omitted for a lighter version.
- Use apple cider vinegar to add brightness and tanginess if desired.
- This sauce keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Great as a dip for chicken tenders, a spread on sandwiches, or a drizzle for salads and roasted vegetables.
