Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard and low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth until fully combined.
Add the apple cider vinegar and honey to the mustard-broth mixture, and continue whisking until the honey is dissolved.

Once the oil is warm, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until it becomes aromatic, being careful not to burn it.
Pour the mustard mixture into the saucepan with the garlic and whisk together.
Add the dried thyme and ground black pepper, continuing to whisk as you cook the mixture over low heat for 3-5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
