Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons mustard mix of Dijon, sweet, and stone ground
  • 2 tablespoons Valentina hot sauce or your favorite
  • Pinch salt
  • Pinch black pepper

Method
 

  1. Whisk everything together until smooth.
  2. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Notes

Mustard matters: Use a mix for the best flavor. I like 1 tablespoon each of Dijon, sweet mustard, and stone ground. If you only have one, Dijon is your best option but the flavor will be sharper and less balanced.
Hot sauce choice: I use Valentina Hot Sauce because it’s mild and tangy.
Flavor develops over time: This tastes even better after sitting for 30 minutes in the fridge.
Yield: Makes about a cup! 8 servings of about 2 tablespoons each.
