Ingredients

• ½ cup mayo

• 2 tbsp Honey House Hot Honey

• 2 tbsp yellow mustard

• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

• ½ tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

Equipment

• Mixing bowl

• Small whisk or spoon

• Measuring spoons

• Airtight container (for storing)

Pro Tips

1. Use Fresh Lemon Juice: Fresh citrus brightens the dip and keeps it from tasting too heavy.

2. Chill for Best Flavor: Let it rest at least 30 minutes — the hot honey and mustard meld beautifully.

3. Stir Before Serving: The honey may settle slightly; a quick stir brings it back to silky perfection.

4. Adjust the Heat: Add an extra drizzle of Hot Honey if you want more kick.

5. Serve Cold: This dip is at its creamiest and most flavorful straight from the fridge.

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the mayo, yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, Honey House Hot Honey, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth.

2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to develop.

3. Serve chilled alongside your favorite snacks — pretzels, fries, chicken tenders, or a veggie platter.

Storage Tips

• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

• Stir before using if the dip separates.

• Not recommended for freezing (the mayo will break).

Recipe Notes

This simple dip is a flavor bomb thanks to the combination of creamy mayo, tangy mustards, and the floral heat of our raw, American-sourced Hot Honey. The sweetness softens the mustard’s sharpness, while the chili infusion adds a warm, lingering kick.

We love using Honey House Hot Honey here because it’s pure, raw, and made in small batches, giving the dip both quality ingredients and bold flavor. Its natural sweetness and chili heat balance beautifully with Dijon and lemon juice, resulting in a bright, addictive sauce you can use on just about anything.

Perfect Pairings

Serve this dip with:

• Crispy chicken tenders or nuggets

• Soft pretzels or pretzel bites

• Air-fried fries or sweet potato wedges

• Veggie trays (carrots, celery, bell peppers)

• Popcorn chicken or spicy wings
