Scale

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup Dijon Mustard
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ¼ cup Honey
  • 3 Fresh Jalapeños, stemmed (seeds removed for milder heat if desired)
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, peeled
  • ½ teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients and the necessary equipment, such as a blender or food processor.
  2. Prepare Jalapeños: Stem the jalapeños and remove seeds if you prefer a milder sauce.
  3. Peel Garlic: Peel the garlic cloves to ensure smooth blending.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Add Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, jalapeños, garlic cloves, and salt into the blender or food processor.
  5. Blend Until Smooth: Process the mixture until there are no chunks and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  6. Adjust Seasonings: Taste the sauce and add more salt or honey if needed to suit your preference.
  7. Transfer: Pour the sauce into an airtight container or glass jar for storage.
  8. Refrigerate: Store it in the refrigerator for freshness and stir well before each use.
  9. Optional Smoky Variation: Roast jalapeños at 450°F (230°C) for 10 minutes before blending to add a smoky depth of flavor to the sauce.

Notes

  • Removing jalapeño seeds will reduce the spiciness of the sauce.
  • Roasting jalapeños adds a smoky flavor but is optional.
  • Store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Great as a dip for chicken tenders, a dressing for salads, or a spread for sandwiches and burgers.
  • Adjust honey quantity to make the sauce sweeter or more tangy depending on your taste.
