Honey Mustard Mayonnaise

This Honey Mustard Mayonnaise is a versatile condiment that balances creamy richness with a bright, spicy kick. By blending smooth mayonnaise with sweet honey, sharp Dijon mustard, and a hint of prepared horseradish, you create a sauce that is both indulgent and refreshing. It pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, grilled vegetables, or as a dip for raw veggies like carrots and celery. The horseradish adds a subtle warmth that cuts through the sweetness, making it complex enough for adult palates while remaining approachable. Prepare this simple sauce ahead of time to let the flavors meld, and keep it refrigerated for up to a week. It is an excellent alternative to store-bought dressings, offering a fresher taste and customizable heat level based on your preference.

Note

This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Stir well before each use as separation may occur.

For a vegan version, substitute the mayonnaise with a high-quality vegan mayo and ensure the honey is replaced with agave nectar or maple syrup if strict veganism is required.

Adjust the heat level by increasing the amount of prepared horseradish. Start with 1/2 teaspoon if you prefer a milder flavor.

This sauce works exceptionally well as a dressing for grain bowls, a dip for pretzels and fries, or a glaze for roasted carrots and broccoli.
