Transform Honey Mustard Into A Creamy Dip With A Simple Add-In

Honey mustard is one of the most versatile condiments. It's worth adding to more than just sandwiches or burgers. You can use it to make honey mustard-glazed ham, turn it into a replacement for mayo in coleslaw dressing, and so much more. Its unique flavor profile, which combines sweetness with a subtle zestiness, gives it the ability to add depth of flavor to any dish it's applied to. Plus, honey mustard is really easy to make: Just combine honey and a little vinegar with a mustard of your choice.

If you're getting tired of using honey mustard just as a regular condiment though, a great way to use it is to transform it into a dipping sauce. All you need to do is to take your honey mustard and whisk it with some Greek yogurt. The result is a dip that has a delectably creamy texture with the bold flavor of mustard and a hint of sweetness from the honey.

By adding just one extra ingredient, honey mustard is transformed from a condiment to a dipping sauce with great ease. From there, you can serve the dip with any number of dishes, from french fries to chicken nuggets and beyond. Additionally, if you're feeling fancier, you can always dress up the dip with the help of a few added ingredients.

Tips and tricks for honey mustard dip

When making this dip, Greek yogurt is absolutely key. Be sure to use this specific type of yogurt — that's what will make the dipping sauce thick and creamy. In addition to the way it contributes to the texture of honey mustard, Greek yogurt is packed with protein, resulting in a more filling dip.

If you want to make your honey mustard dip even creamier, try adding a touch of mayonnaise; it'll also expand on the flavor of the dip overall, giving it a subtle touch of tang. If you want to give the dip even more flavor, there's a bunch of household seasonings and spices that can help here. Common choices include herbs like dill or even garlic powder and paprika. You can also give the dip some kick with the help of Dijon mustard (in addition to the yellow mustard) or cayenne pepper.

Last but not least, consider what you want to serve this dip with. Chicken is a very common pairing — think chicken nuggets, tenders, or popcorn chicken. This dip also works drizzled over salad, used in marinades for meats such as pork or shrimp, or with roasted vegetables such as broccoli.
