Print Recipe

This quick and easy sauce combines sweet honey, tangy mustard, and fresh jalapeño for a versatile condiment that elevates everything from grilled chicken to sandwiches and salads.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
  • 1 fresh jalapeño pepper, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the jalapeño: Wash, dry, and cut off the stem. Slice in half lengthwise. For milder sauce, remove seeds and membrane; for spicier, leave them in. Finely dice into pieces no bigger than ⅛ inch.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, and whole-grain mustard until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add vinegar and seasonings: Pour in apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and smoked paprika (if using). Whisk until fully incorporated.
  4. Fold in jalapeño: Add diced jalapeño and fold gently with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  5. Season and adjust: Taste and adjust sweetness, tang, or heat as desired. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Rest and serve: For best flavor, let sauce sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes before serving. Can be served immediately if needed.

Notes

For best flavor, let the sauce rest for 15–20 minutes before serving. The heat level can be adjusted by removing or leaving jalapeño seeds. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Do not freeze.
