Ingredients in honey mustard

Think honey mustard is just honey and mustard? Think again. It tastes great, but the texture is pretty runny. You’ll want a dipping sauce to be a little thicker. Here’s what you’ll need:

Mustard: use yellow mustard for a mild sauce, or Dijon mustard for a spicier twist
Honey
Mayonnaise
Apple cider vinegar
BBQ sauce: it’s optional, but if you happen to have it on hand, it adds a delicious nuance in flavor

How to make it? Simply mix all the ingredients. It takes just a few minutes and it’s ideal for dipping just about anything.

Why it works

Why these ingredients work? The mayo adds body to the honey mustard, making it into a lusciously creamy dipping sauce. The BBQ sauce adds just a hint of additional complexity and roundness to the flavor. It tastes delicious without it, but it’s even better with just a few teaspoons. Don’t knock it until you try it!
