Can I use regular yellow mustard instead of Dijon?

You can, but the flavor profile will be quite different. Yellow mustard is milder and less complex than Dijon, so your honey mustard will taste more like the classic yellow squeeze bottle variety. If that's what you're going for, go ahead! You might want to reduce the honey slightly since yellow mustard isn't as potent.

My honey mustard is too sweet. How can I fix it?

Simply add more Dijon mustard, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired level of tanginess. You can also add a tiny splash of apple cider vinegar to cut through the sweetness without making it too mustardy.

Can I use this as a marinade?

Absolutely! This makes an excellent marinade for chicken or pork. For best results, let your protein marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator. The honey helps create a beautiful caramelized exterior when cooked.

How can I make this into a salad dressing?

To transform this into a pourable salad dressing, whisk in 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar. Adjust quantities to reach your preferred consistency and taste.
