Begin by placing ¼ cup of mayonnaise and ¼ cup of yellow mustard into a medium mixing bowl. These two ingredients will form the creamy, tangy foundation of your honey mustard sauce.

Spoon in 2 tablespoons of your favorite barbecue sauce to give the mixture a smoky, slightly sweet undertone. Next, pour in 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. This touch of acidity helps balance the sweetness and adds brightness.

Add 2 tablespoons of honey to the bowl. The natural sweetness of honey is what gives this sauce its signature flavor, complementing the mustard’s tang and making the sauce rich and smooth.

Sprinkle in ½ teaspoon of ground horseradish for a gentle kick, then add 1 tablespoon of whole grain mustard. The horseradish provides heat while the grainy mustard adds texture and complexity.

Mix in ¼ teaspoon of herbs de Provence. This unexpected ingredient infuses the sauce with a subtle, sweet, and slightly floral aroma that takes it to another level.

Grab a whisk and blend everything until the sauce is creamy and fully combined. Taste and adjust if needed. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to let flavors meld together beautifully.
