Print Recipe

This creamy jalapeño honey mustard sauce is the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy. Ready in just 5 minutes with simple pantry ingredients, it’s a versatile sauce for dipping, dressing, or glazing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 medium fresh jalapeño, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the jalapeño: Wash, dry, cut off stem, slice in half lengthwise. For milder sauce, remove seeds and white ribs. For medium spice, leave half the seeds. For fiery, leave all seeds. Roughly chop.
  2. Combine base ingredients: In a small mixing bowl, wide-mouth mason jar, or immersion blender cup, add mayonnaise, honey, and Dijon mustard.
  3. Add flavor boosters: Add chopped jalapeño, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Blend or whisk: For smooth sauce, use an immersion blender or small food processor and blend until smooth (about 30 seconds). For chunky sauce, finely mince jalapeño by hand and whisk vigorously with other ingredients.
  5. Taste and adjust: Adjust sweetness, tanginess, heat, or creaminess to your preference.
  6. Chill for best flavor (optional but recommended): Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Use as a dip, dressing, spread, or glaze.

Notes

For a milder sauce, remove seeds and membranes from jalapeño. For a spicier sauce, leave seeds in or use serrano pepper. The sauce can be made ahead; flavors deepen over time. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. For a dairy-free version, use vegan mayonnaise and substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
