Ingredients:
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard (or milder table mustard)
2 tablespoons honey (preferably liquid, such as linden or acacia honey)
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon olive oil or canola oil
1 pinch of salt and pepper
Optional: a pinch of sweet or hot paprika for color and character
Preparation:
Mix the mustard and honey in a bowl until smooth.
Add the mayonnaise and lemon juice and mix again until creamy.
Add the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and add paprika, if desired.
Let the sauce sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Perfect for chicken, pork, fish, grilled vegetables, or as a salad dressing. The sauce will keep in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to a week, and its flavor will intensify with each day. Would you like me to make you a spicier, more intense version of this sauce?
