How To Make

Ingredients:

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons yellow mustard

1 tablespoon honey (or more for sweetness)

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup mayonnaise (for a creamy texture)

1 tablespoon olive oil (or vegetable oil)

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions:

1. Mix Mustards: In a medium bowl, combine the Dijon mustard and yellow mustard. Dijon gives the sauce a smooth, tangy flavor, while yellow mustard adds a bit more sharpness.

2. Add Honey: Stir in the honey for a touch of sweetness. You can adjust the amount based on how sweet you want your sauce. The honey will also help balance the tanginess of the mustard.

3. Add Vinegar: Pour in the apple cider vinegar. The vinegar adds acidity and enhances the overall flavor, making the sauce more vibrant.

4. Add Mayonnaise: Stir in the mayonnaise for creaminess. It helps mellow out the sharpness of the mustard while adding a smooth texture to the sauce.

5. Incorporate Oil: Add olive oil or vegetable oil and whisk until the sauce is smooth. The oil adds richness and helps bring everything together.

6. Season: Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. If you like extra flavor, you can also add a pinch of garlic powder and smoked paprika for depth.

7. Taste and Adjust: Taste your sauce and adjust the ingredients as needed. If you prefer it sweeter, add more honey. For a spicier kick, add a little more yellow mustard or a dash of hot sauce.

8. Serve: Once the sauce is well-mixed and adjusted to your liking, it's ready to serve! Pour it over burgers, grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or use it as a dip for fries.

Tips for Variations:

1. For a spicier version, add a teaspoon of horseradish or a dash of cayenne pepper.

2. For a smoky flavor, increase the smoked paprika or add a small amount of chipotle powder.

3. If you prefer a thicker sauce, reduce the amount of vinegar or add more mayonnaise.
