Instructions

  1. 1Prepare the Honey Base
    A spoonful of golden honey being added into a clear glass bowl.

    Measure one spoonful of honey and add it into a small glass bowl to serve as the sweet foundation for your sauce.

    Tip: Use a neutral-flavored honey for a balanced taste.
  2. 2Incorporate the Mustard
    Yellow mustard being squeezed from a bottle into a mixing bowl containing honey.

    Squeeze a generous portion of yellow mustard directly into the bowl over the honey.

    Tip: Use a squeeze bottle for better control over the amount.
  3. 3Add the Mayonnaise
    A large spoonful of mayonnaise being dropped into a mixing bowl.

    Add a generous scoop of mayonnaise to the bowl, which will provide the sauce with its signature creamy texture and body.

  4. 4Season with Pepper
    Black pepper being sprinkled over the ingredients in a mixing bowl.

    Sprinkle a pinch of freshly ground black pepper over the ingredients to add a subtle hint of warmth.

    Tip: Freshly ground pepper provides the best flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Dijon mustard works beautifully and gives the sauce a sharper, more complex flavor compared to the mild tang of standard yellow mustard.
Using a very liquid honey or too much of it can thin out the sauce. To thicken it, simply whisk in a little extra mayonnaise.
While great for dipping and spreading, this mayonnaise-based sauce can separate if exposed to high heat. For a grill marinade, omit the mayonnaise and use just oil, honey, and mustard.
