This quick and easy recipe brings two beloved condiments together: mustard and mayonnaise! Mustard mayo takes only a couple of minutes to make and is the perfect dipping sauce for all of your favourite things!
Hi, guys, Thanks for tuning into the blog today. My name is Andrea and I have a confession to make. That’s right. Are you sitting down for this one? I have a sister who could literally eat an entire jar of mayonnaise… BY. THE. SPOONFUL. Yup. That’s my confession. Is there such thing as an intervention for these types of things?!
My older sister Erica just looooves mayo. She has to put it on literally everything. And I mean EVERYTHING! She can eat a slice of bread with just mayo on it. She gets extra on every sandwich or burger she’s ever ordered. And of course, she’s one of those people who just haaaaas to have a side of it just to dip her french fries. But I guess I can’t blame her because I, myself, am a big fan of anything dippable and creamy. Including mayonnaise. Especially when it’s mixed with other ingredients (spicy mayo or chipotle mayo, anyone?!) to make it even better!
Now, you might be looking at me as if I have four heads wondering why on Earth anyone would need a so-called recipe for mustard mayo. I mean, isn’t it literally one of the easiest things you could ever possibly make??? (YES!) Don’t you just mix mustard and mayo together and call it a day?! And while you’re not wrong and admittedly, I even gave some consideration as to whether or not I should even call this one a recipe, there is a little bit of method to my madness.
First off, IMHO, it’s important to know the perfect ratio of mustard to mayo. And while you could spend some time trying to figure this out on your own… why?! When I’ve done all the guesswork for you. This mustard mayo has the perfect amount of both ingredients to make this easy dipping sauce creamy, tangy and packed full of flavour. Second of all, I wanted this simple recipe to serve as a reminder that magic in the kitchen doesn’t always need all the bells and whistles. Sometimes, all it takes is to mix a couple of basic condiments together and voila, you’ve got yourself an out-of-this-world dipping sauce I guarantee you’ll be making again and again. Poof!
WHAT YOU’RE GONNA NEED TO WHIP UP SOME MUSTARD MAYO
Two of the most world famous condiments come together in this recipe to create a dipping sauce with a creamy texture, tangy flavour and customizable taste profile I just know you’re going to love! Let’s discuss each ingredient’s role in this recipe in a little bit more detail down below:
- Mustard: Adds flavour and a characteristic tanginess, enhancing its overall taste profile of this creamy dipping sauce recipe. To keep things on the traditional side, I used good ol’ yellow mustard in this recipe. However, you can use various types of mustard depending on your taste preferences. Common options include honey mustard, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard or spicy mustard.
- Mayonnaise: Provides the base for the mustard mayo and contributes to its creamy texture and richness. If you’re feeling adventurous, try making your own homemade mayonnaise from scratch yourself at home by following THIS EASY RECIPE.
HOW TO MAKE MUSTARD MAYO (KEY TIPS)
You can find full instructions for how to make this quick and easy mustard mayonnaise recipe in the recipe card down below, but here are a few quick tips to keep in mind:
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh ingredients will provide the best flavour and texture to your mustard mayo. Therefore, ensure that the mayonnaise and mustard you use are fresh and not expired.
- Maintain proper proportions. Achieve the right balance between mayonnaise and mustard to ensure that the flavours are well-balanced. Start with the suggested proportions in the recipe and adjust according to your own personal taste preference.
- Mix thoroughly. Take your time to thoroughly mix the mayonnaise and mustard until they are fully combined. This will ensure an even distribution of flavours and a smooth texture in the finished product.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. After mixing the mayonnaise and mustard, taste the mustard mayo and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add salt, pepper or other seasonings (if using) gradually until you achieve your desired flavour profile. EXTRA TIP: Don’t hesitate to experiment with different types of mustard or additional seasonings to customize the flavoUr of your mustard mayo. You can try using Dijon mustard for a stronger flavoUr or incorporating herbs and spices for added complexity.
- Serve at the right temperature. Serving it cold will enhance its refreshing taste and creamy texture. Therefore, mustard mayo is best served chilled.
- Store properly. If you have leftovers, store the mustard mayo in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Homemade mustard mayo can typically be stored for several days, but always check for signs of spoilage before consuming.
