Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Whole-grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground white pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, honey, and white wine vinegar. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
Slowly pour in the vegetable oil in a thin, steady stream while continuously whisking. This will help emulsify the sauce, creating a creamy texture.
Stir in the finely chopped fresh dill, salt, and ground white pepper. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to suit your preference.
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or jar. It can be used immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for up to 5 days for the flavors to develop further.
Serve the mustard and dill sauce as a complement to gravlax, smoked salmon, new potatoes, or as a dipping sauce for bread.
