Whether using for dipping, dressing, or glazing there is no wrong way to serve it! Some favorites are:

Storing Mayonnaise Based Sauces
Like all dressings, marinades, and sauces, the honey mustard sauce can be kept in the fridge. Store sauce in a cruet, a jar, or another container with a tight-fitting lid.
This dip doesn’t have any ingredients that expire (like milk or sour cream) so if storing in the fridge it will stay fresh for about 2 weeks. This dip doesn’t freeze well.

Tastes just like Mississippi honey mustard
I’m using up my fridge contents. I have some flour tortillas, sharp cheddar, and a Honeycrisp apple. All I need is some honey mustard, and I’ll be cooking up some Apple-Cheddar Quesadillas! I might add that suggested splash of cider vinegar to the honey mustard, considering what I’m using it for.
Oh my! That sounds delicious, Hollis!

Love this honey mustard dip. I use it all the time now for everything from chicken fingers, baked ham, and spread for sandwhiches and it literally takes 2 minutes to prepare. I am not crazy about Dijon mustard and every other recipe for honey mustard dip called for it. This is is the perfect ratio of all ingredients.
Didn’t realize I was out of dipping sauce until the chicken tenders were already cooking. This dip was quick and easy to whip up and tasted so much better!! SWP Employee
So easy and delicious!
