Method
The amounts listed under each step are for your servings. Numbers written in the step text are for the original 6.
Add the mayonnaise, honey, yellow mustard and Dijon mustard to a small bowl. If the honey is thick or crystallized, microwave it for 10 seconds first so it blends in.
- 4 oz mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
Whisk in the lemon juice, garlic powder, cayenne (if using) and salt until the sauce is smooth, glossy and an even pale golden yellow with no streaks of honey.
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 pinch salt
Taste and adjust: more honey for sweeter, more Dijon for sharper. Serve right away or chill until needed.
Tips
- For a thinner sauce to drizzle on salads or wraps, whisk in 1 to 2 teaspoons of water at a time.
- Want it without mayo? Use plain Greek yogurt instead (the sauce will no longer be dairy-free).
- Keeps for up to 1 week in a sealed jar in the fridge. Stir before serving.
