FAQs
This condiment will last 1-2 weeks (maybe longer) in the refrigerator, assuming you used mayo that isn’t near its expiration date.
I also tested freezing this sauce and thawing it in the refrigerator. The good news is that texture wasn’t affected at all! As for the flavor, the cayenne pepper got much hotter after sitting in the freezer. So, if you plan to freeze the sauce, I’d leave out the cayenne and stir it in after thawing.
Yes, plain Greek yogurt will work just fine in place of the mayonnaise in this recipe. Full fat Greek yogurt will yield a creamier, richer consistency than the non-fat type.
Absolutely! It would work great on a leafy green salad.
Once you try making this easy condiment, I think you’ll want to have the ingredients on hand for any time. Enjoy!

Looking for a quick, easy honey mustard for the chicken tenders I was making for dinner. Looked good, I made this but had to sub spicy brown mustard for the Dijon/yellow (totally out of both). Didn’t need to add any cayenne as still had a nice “kick” to it.
Hi Joanne. Glad you were able to to make it work with what you had. I’m sure the spicy brown mustard did give it a nice kick. Thanks for leaving a review.
