Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- ½ cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) BBQ sauce
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice
Seasonings (Optional):
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Gather all the condiments including mayonnaise, honey, yellow mustard, barbecue sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and garlic powder in a single mixing vessel.
- Vigorously blend the ingredients using a whisk, ensuring a consistent, velvety texture without any lingering lumps or separation.
- Perform a flavor assessment, carefully modulating the profile by incrementally adding more honey to enhance sweetness, introducing additional mustard for a zesty kick, or incorporating extra barbecue sauce to amplify the smoky undertones.
- Optional but recommended: Allow the sauce to rest and meld flavors in the refrigerator for approximately half an hour, which will deepen and harmonize the taste elements.
- Present the sauce as a versatile accompaniment, perfect for dunking crispy chicken, golden french fries, or as a sophisticated spread across sandwiches and grilled burger patties.
Notes
- Customize the sauce’s sweetness by gradually adding honey, tasting as you go to achieve your preferred balance.
- Swap out mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or vegan mayo for a lighter, diet-friendly alternative that maintains creamy texture.
- Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, allowing flavors to meld and intensify over time.
- Experiment with spice levels by adding a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika for an extra kick that transforms the classic sauce.
