Ingredients

Full recipe and amounts can be found in the recipe card below. 

• Mayonnaise. I used Hellmann’s but feel free to use any mayo of your choice.
• Sour cream. Optional, but it adds extra creaminess to the sauce. Can be substituted with plain yogurt.
• Dijon mustard. You could substitute English mustard for Dijon.
• Wholegrain mustard. Optional, but I like the texture it adds.
• Honey. Use maple syrup if you prefer.
• Lemon juice. 
• Salt and pepper. 

How to make honey mustard sauce

It couldn’t be simpler. Combine all the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Depending on the mayonnaise you used, you might need to add a drizzle more honey or lemon juice to balance the sauce. You could add a pinch of cayenne pepper if you like a little extra heat.

Can I make this sauce ahead?

Absolutely. Honey mustard sauce will last for up to 2 weeks if kept in an airtight container in the fridge. I don’t recommend freezing though as it will split once thawed.
