How to Make Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

To make dipping sauce, simply stir together all the ingredients in a small bowl. The flavors get even better the longer it sits in the fridge, so you may want to make this a few hours in advance.

How Should I Store This Sauce?

This condiment will last 1-2 weeks (maybe longer) in the refrigerator, assuming you used mayo that isn’t near its expiration date. However, we don’t recommend freezing it. When it thaws, it will separate and the texture will get funky.
