Homemade Honey Mustard Sauce
This Homemade Honey Mustard Sauce is a creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet condiment made in just 5 minutes with pantry staples. Perfect as a dip, marinade, or sandwich spread, it beats any store bought version every time.
Equipment
- Medium mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Measuring spoons
- Airtight storage jar
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup honey raw or local preferred
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika optional
- 1/8 teaspoon salt or to taste
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and yellow mustard. Whisk together until smooth and fully blended, about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the honey gradually while whisking continuously, so it incorporates evenly into the mustard and mayo base.
- Add the apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika if using, and salt. Whisk again until the sauce is smooth and uniformly golden in color.
- Taste the sauce and adjust as needed, adding a touch more honey for sweetness or extra mustard for tang.
- Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Notes
For best flavor, let the sauce rest in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before serving. Use room temperature honey to avoid clumping. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. Avoid freezing if possible since the mayo base can separate, but if needed, thaw overnight and whisk well before using.
