Equipment

  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup creamy mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons clover honey
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons classic yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon smooth Dijon mustard
  • ½ tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions
 

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

  • First things first! Assemble all your ingredients on the counter. This makes the process smooth and straightforward.

Step 2: Measure and Mix the Mayonnaise

  • In a mixing bowl, take your ½ cup of creamy mayonnaise. Mayonnaise brings that classic creaminess that we’re after.

Step 3: Add in the Mustards

  • Next, measure out 2 tablespoons of classic yellow mustard and 1 tablespoon of smooth Dijon mustard. Pour them into the bowl with mayonnaise. Using a whisk, mix these until smooth and well-combined.

Step 4: Sweeten with Honey

  • Now, it’s time to introduce 2 tablespoons of clover honey. Pour the honey into the mixture and whisk again. Allow the honey to dissolve fully into the mustard base.

Step 5: Add the Acid

  • Here comes the key part! Add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and ½ tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. These ingredients add brightness and lover’s kick to the honey sweet base.

Step 6: Spice it Up

  • It’s all about layers of flavor! Add 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika for that subtle smokiness. Whisk the mixture really well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

Step 7: Taste and Adjust

  • Before you seal that bowl, dip a spoon in and taste your creation. If it needs more honey, go for it. Not tart enough? A splash more vinegar will do the trick.

Step 8: Serve or Store

  • Serve immediately as a dip for your chicken tenders or veggies. Alternatively, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for later use.

Notes

Here are some handy tips to help you make the best honey mustard possible:
  • Honey Variety Matters: Try to use clover honey or something light to retain balance.
  • Control the Creaminess: If you want a thinner consistency, just add a bit more lemon juice or vinegar.
  • Chill for Best Flavor: Let the honey mustard sit for about 30 minutes in the fridge. Flavors meld beautifully when it gets to chill.
  • Perfect for Meal Prep: This honey mustard keeps well for a week, making it great for meal prep.
  • Experiment with Spices: Feel free to try different spices like garlic powder or a pinch of cayenne to find your favorite blend!
