Hello there, lusciously creamy, savory sweet dipping sauce. This epic Honey Mustard recipe is begging to be part of your life!

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.
Why it works
Why these ingredients work? The mayo adds body to the honey mustard, making it into a lusciously creamy dipping sauce. The BBQ sauce adds just a hint of additional complexity and roundness to the flavor. It tastes delicious without it, but it’s even better with just a few teaspoons. Don’t knock it until you try it!

Delicious and easy! I used half yellow mustard and half spicy brown, and I did use the BBQ sauce. Will be trying it with Parmesan Potato Wedge recipe I made for the first time tonight. Looking forward to it! Should be great on chicken tenders, too.
