Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (for creaminess)
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard (adds tang and color)
- 1/4 cup honey (for a touch of sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce (imparts smokiness, ideally hickory-flavored)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for extra tang)
Optional substitutions:
- For a dairy-free option, swap in a vegan mayonnaise.
- Gluten-free barbecue sauce is recommended for gluten-intolerant friends.
Instructions
Step 1: Combine the Ingredients
In a medium mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, mustard, honey, barbecue sauce, and lemon juice.
Step 2: Whisk to Perfection
Using a whisk or spoon, blend all ingredients until smooth. Aim for a creamy, uniform color and consistency to ensure the flavors meld perfectly.
Step 3: Taste and Adjust
Give it a taste! If you’d like a bit more sweetness, add a touch more honey. For a smoky kick, add an extra dash of barbecue sauce.
Step 4: Chill for Best Flavor
Allow the sauce to sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to develop its rich, creamy flavor.
