Honey Mustard Sauce Recipe
This Honey Mustard Sauce recipe makes everyday meals come alive. Smother it on chicken tenders, pretzels, corn dogs, veggie sticks, and all the sandwiches.
Servings: 12 servings (about 3/4 cup)
Ingredients
- ¼ cup whole grain mustard, I used Maille Old Style
- ¼ cup pure honey
- ¼ cup real mayo
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper , to taste
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients into a bowl.
- Whisk until well combined and smooth.
- Use immediately or store in an airtight container, chilled, until ready to use. Can be stored in fridge for several weeks.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your personal preference. If you like your sauce a little tangier, add a bit more mustard or lemon juice. For a sweeter flavor, increase the amount of honey.
- Always use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor. Pre-bottled lemon juice just doesn't have the same bright, fresh flavor.
- Make sure to use a good quality whole grain mustard. It's the star of the show in this sauce, so you want one with a great, robust flavor.
- Don't skip the onion powder. It might seem like a small amount, but it adds a nice savory note that rounds out the sweetness of the honey and the tang of the mustard.
- This sauce is perfect for dipping, but it also makes a great marinade. Try it on chicken or pork for a deliciously sweet and tangy dish.
