Ingredients
- 1/4 cup honey: Provides sweetness and viscosity. Substitute with agave nectar for a vegan option.
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard: Adds tanginess and depth. For a milder flavor, use Dijon mustard.
- 1/4 cup barbecue sauce: Brings a smoky, savory element. Try homemade BBQ sauce for a personalized touch.
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice: Adds brightness and cuts through the richness. Fresh is best, but bottled works in a pinch.
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise: The creamy base holding everything together. Opt for light mayonnaise if preferred.
How to Make It
Step 1: Combine Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the honey, yellow mustard, barbecue sauce, lemon juice, and mayonnaise. Whisk everything until the mixture is smooth and the honey is well incorporated. This step ensures an even distribution of flavors, creating that signature taste balance.
Step 2: Chill the Sauce
Transfer the sauce to a sealed container and refrigerate for at least an hour. This crucial step allows the flavors to meld and develop, enhancing the overall taste. Plus, a chilled sauce always pairs better with hot foods.
Recipe FAQs
Can I make this sauce ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare it up to a week in advance and store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container. The flavors continue to develop, so it’s often even better after a day or two.
What barbecue sauce should I use?
Select a barbecue sauce that matches your taste preference—whether sweet, spicy, or smoky. It’s a great chance to use your favorite brand or try making your own.
Is there a substitute for mayonnaise?
If you’re looking to cut calories or need a dairy-free option, try using Greek yogurt or a mayonnaise alternative made with plant-based ingredients.
