Assemble Your Mustard Militia: Ingredients!
Here's what you'll need to create your own honey mustard masterpiece:
- The Base:
- ½ cup mayonnaise (go whole fat for the creamiest texture, trust me)
- The Sweet Symphony:
- 3 ½ tablespoons of honey (raw honey adds a nice touch, but regular works too)
- The Mustard Mates:
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard (the classic tang)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (adds a bit of depth)
- The Zing Factor: *½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice (cuts through the sweetness and brightens it all up)
Don't have Dijon mustard? No worries! Just add another tablespoon of yellow mustard.
