We’ve all been there. You order food, and three dipping sauces come along with it. The ketchup is nice, and ranch is always a solid choice, but there’s something special about honey mustard. It has a personality all its own, perfectly balancing sweetness and tanginess.

Equipment

  • medium mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup Kraft mayonnaise avoid using Dukes or Miracle Whip
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard for added complexity
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika for a smoky note
  • 1 pinch salt
  • A dash of cayenne pepper for a subtle heat
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar omit if using as a dip

Instructions
 

  • Here’s how you can bring this delicious honey mustard into your life:

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

  • Make sure to have all your ingredients on the counter. If you’re anything like me, the more organized you are, the easier things will flow.

Step 2: Combine Mustards

  • In a medium mixing bowl, add 1/4 cup yellow mustard and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Whisk together until smooth. This forms the base of your honey mustard.

Step 3: Add Honey and Mayo

  • Next, pour in 1/4 cup honey and 1/2 cup Kraft mayonnaise. The honey will bring that beautiful sweetness that we all crave, while the mayo adds creaminess.

Step 4: Spice It Up

  • Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 pinch of salt, and a dash of cayenne pepper. These spices give the dip its personality! Whisk everything together until all the ingredients are well combined.

Step 5: Add Vinegar

  • Finally, stir in 1 tablespoon of rice wine vinegar. If you’re using this as a dip, feel free to leave it out. It adds a nice tang if you’re planning to use it as a dressing or spread.

Step 6: Taste and Adjust

  • Take a tiny taste! Adjust any flavors to your preference; add more honey for sweetness or a pinch more salt for seasoning.

Step 7: Chill

  • Let the dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Step 8: Serve

  • Serve with all your favorite dippables and enjoy!
