Scale

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup Dijon Mustard
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ¼ cup Honey
  • 3 Fresh Jalapeños (stemmed)
  • 2 Garlic Cloves (peeled)
  • ½ teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all ingredients and necessary equipment, including a blender or food processor.
  2. Prepare Jalapeños: Stem the fresh jalapeños. For less heat, remove the seeds and membranes if desired.
  3. Peel Garlic: Remove the skins from two garlic cloves to prepare for blending.
  4. Combine Ingredients: In the blender or food processor, add Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, jalapeños, garlic cloves, and salt together.
  5. Blend Until Smooth: Process the mixture until it becomes completely smooth with no chunks remaining.
  6. Taste and Adjust: Sample the sauce and modify seasoning or ingredients if needed to suit your taste preferences.
  7. Store Sauce: Transfer the finished sauce into an airtight container or a glass jar for storage.
  8. Refrigerate: Keep the sauce refrigerated for optimal freshness and consistency. Stir well before each use.
  9. Optional Smoky Variation: For a smoky flavor, roast the jalapeños in a preheated 450°F (232°C) oven for 10 minutes before blending into the sauce.

Notes

  • Removing jalapeño seeds reduces the heat for a milder sauce.
  • Roasting jalapeños adds a smoky flavor but is optional.
  • Store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Great as a dip for chicken tenders, a spread on sandwiches, or a dressing for salads.
  • You can substitute apple cider vinegar with white vinegar or lemon juice if needed.
