Key Recipe Ingredients
Whole Grain Mustard – The star of our recipe, whole grain mustard, adds a robust, slightly spicy flavor and a wonderful texture that sets this sauce apart from your average honey mustard.
Pure Honey – It adds the perfect amount of sweetness but also helps to mellow out the sharpness of the mustard, resulting in a perfectly balanced flavor.
Real Mayo – Mayo adds creaminess and body to the sauce, making it rich and lusciously smooth.
Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice – The acidity of lemon juice cuts through the richness of the mayo and adds a bright, fresh flavor to the sauce.
Substitutions And Variations
Here are our favorite substitutions and variations:
Mustard: The whole grain mustard in this recipe gives the sauce its signature texture and tangy flavor. You can try using Dijon mustard or spicy brown mustard for a different twist.
Honey: Feel free to adjust the amount of honey based on your preference. For a vegan version, you can substitute the honey with maple syrup.
Spices: Onion powder and black pepper add the perfect balance of flavors, but you can try adding other spices like garlic powder or a dash of cayenne for some heat.

Notes
Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your personal preference. If you like your sauce a little tangier, add a bit more mustard or lemon juice. For a sweeter flavor, increase the amount of honey.
Always use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor. Pre-bottled lemon juice just doesn’t have the same bright, fresh flavor.
Make sure to use a good quality whole grain mustard. It’s the star of the show in this sauce, so you want one with a great, robust flavor.
Don’t skip the onion powder. It might seem like a small amount, but it adds a nice savory note that rounds out the sweetness of the honey and the tang of the mustard.
This sauce is perfect for dipping, but it also makes a great marinade. Try it on chicken or pork for a deliciously sweet and tangy dish.
