Cuisine: Australian
Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the 1/2 cup of mayonnaise. This will serve as the creamy base for your honey mustard sauce.
- Next, pour in the 1/4 cup of honey. This will add sweetness and a rich flavor to the dressing.
- Then, add the 1/4 cup of Dijon mustard. The mustard will provide a tangy and slightly spicy kick to balance the sweetness of the honey.
- Now, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar. This will enhance the flavor and add a bit of acidity to the sauce.
- Finally, sprinkle in the 1/2 teaspoon of paprika. This will add a subtle smokiness and a touch of color to your honey mustard.
- Using a whisk or a fork, mix all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and well-combined consistency.
- Once fully mixed, taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness or tanginess if desired, by adding more honey or vinegar to suit your preference.
- Transfer the honey mustard sauce into an airtight container or a serving bowl.
- Refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together, although it can be used immediately if you're in a hurry.
- Serve your copycat Outback honey mustard as a delicious dipping sauce for chicken, salads, or vegetables. Enjoy!
Tips
- Use high-quality ingredients: The key to an exceptional honey mustard is using fresh, premium Dijon mustard and pure, natural honey.

- Taste and adjust: Everyone's palate is different. Don't be afraid to add a bit more honey for sweetness or vinegar for tanginess.
- Chill for enhanced flavor: While you can use the sauce immediately, letting it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Store smartly: Keep your homemade honey mustard in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh for up to a week.
- Experiment with variations: Try adding a dash of garlic powder or a pinch of cayenne for a personalized twist on this classic recipe.
