Author: Tracy Halasz

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup maple syrup*
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, more to taste
  • sea salt and coarse black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ - ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, more to taste

Optional

  • 1 ½ tablespoons Vegenaise or tahini sauce
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, more to taste

Instructions

  • Whisk all ingredients together in a small dish.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning to personal preference.
  • For the optional ingredients, add 1 tablespoon at a time until desired flavor and consistency is met.
  • Stir in fresh thyme leaves (if using).
  • Store in the fridge in lidded jar or container for up to a week.

Notes

Optional: try vegan honey or agave in place of maple syrup which have a thicker viscosity.
Delicious without any optional ingredients, but it's fun to try different flavors and textures for this vegan honey mustard. Whisk in either the vegan mayonnaise or the tahini to desired flavor and texture.
Add a teaspoon or two of water as needed to thin to desired consistency of dressing.
