Ingredients Needed

Dijon Mustard. Choose any dijon mustard of choice, this is the base of the spicy honey mustard so choose one you enjoy.

Hot Sauce. I use Frank’s Red Hot. You can use Cholula or any hot sauce you prefer. I enjoy the tangy spicy that Franks offers, but choosing your favorite hot sauce is key to this sauce!

Mayonnaise. Use any mayo of choice!

Apple Cider Vinegar. This adds a nice tangy flavor to the mustard. The recipe just calls for a small amount to help tie everything together.
