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.
