  • 3 Tbsp whole grain mustard
  • 1/2 tsp granulated garlic or garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/8 tsp paprika

Notes

    • Mustard Substitutions: You can make honey mustard with spicy brown mustard, depending on your spice preference. It will give the sauce a more intense and spicy flavor compared to the traditional honey mustard made with Dijon or whole grain mustard. You can use stone ground mustard with brown mustard seeds.
    • Use Only Dijon: You can also adapt using additional Dijon in place of the whole grain mustard called for in the recipe. Classic yellow mustard won’t work quite as well here.
    • Adjust the Amount of Honey to Taste: Can the amount of sweetness in honey mustard be adjusted? You can taste and adjust the amount of honey in the recipe to suit your taste.
    • Spices: You could add a dash of cayenne pepper for extra spice.
    • Salt: There's ample salt for this sauce, in the mayo. That said, depending on the brand you choose to use, it may need adjusting. Taste and add more to your taste.
