❓ Recipe FAQs
Sure! You can use this sauce as a marinade for any of your favorite proteins. Or, you can go ahead and check out my honey mustard chicken marinade!
I recommend either keeping the combination of yellow mustard and Dijon mustard or using only Dijon mustard. However, you can use any mustard you like, but it may alter the flavor.
I do not recommend freezing this sauce because of the mayonnaise. It will not thaw very well, and the ingredients will separate.
