Ingredients:
Dijon Mustard- Deeper, more intense flavor than regular yellow mustard & a must for this recipe
Mayonnaise- Adds a creamy, richness to the dressing
Regular Honey- For sweetness
Mike's Hot Honey- For the kick of spice (This is really spicy when tasting, but I promise it tones down from the other ingredients)
Sweet Paprika- For added peppery flavor. I don't recommend smoked paprika for this recipe for its bold taste. I prefer regular sweet paprika.
Lemon Juice: For a bite or tanginess, much like vinegar would add.
See recipe card below for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Variations:
Not huge on spicy? Leave out the Hot honey for just a regular sweet honey mustard recipe.
Want it creamier? Add in 1 to 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise.
Need even more spice? Use a full tablespoon of Hot Honey and add in ⅛ teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.

Recipe FAQs:
I like to start by adding just a teaspoon of Mike's Hot Honey, then tasting it & adding a little bit more. 1 tablespoon of Mike's Hot Honey will pack some serious heat, so be careful. Everyone has a different idea of what spicy is, so start small and build up.
Yes! I recommend making double, triple or quadruple the recipe and storing in a jar in the fridge for other recipes. If stored in a sealed container, this will be good and fresh for a week.
