Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey or sugar-free sweetener
- 4 tablespoons Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt (optional, to taste)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and honey (or sugar-free sweetener) until smooth.
In a small saucepan, combine the vegetable broth and cornstarch. Whisk thoroughly to dissolve the cornstarch completely, ensuring no lumps remain.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the broth mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly to prevent sticking or clumping.
Once the mixture has slightly thickened (about 2 minutes), lower the heat and stir in the mustard-vinegar mix, garlic powder, black pepper, and optional salt. Whisk to fully incorporate all ingredients.
Allow the sauce to cook for another 2-3 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency. If the sauce becomes too thick, add 1-2 teaspoons of vegetable broth to thin it out.
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool for 1-2 minutes. Serve warm over steamed greens like kale, collards, or Swiss chard, or as a dipping sauce for roasted vegetables.
