Equipment

  • Medium-sized bowl

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon white miso paste
  • ½ cup full-bodied Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup smooth Dijon-style mustard
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons pure honey adjusted to your preferred sweetness
  • 1 small garlic clove finely grated or crushed
  • 10 grinds of fresh black pepper

Instructions
 

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

  • Before you start, line up all your ingredients on the counter. It prepares you for quick mixing without looking for things.

Step 2: Mix the Liquids

  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice. Whisk them together until you achieve a smooth consistency. It should be creamy and uniformly mixed.

Step 3: Add the Flavors

  • Add the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Keep whisking until everything is well combined. You want to create an emulsion, so it should look smooth and silky.

Step 4: Adjust for Taste

  • Taste your honey mustard. At this stage, you can add more honey if you prefer a sweeter flavor or extra lemon for acidity. Adjust it to your liking.

Step 5: Store

  • Once you achieve your desired flavor, transfer the honey mustard to a jar with a tight lid. It can last in the fridge for about a week. But trust me, it may not last that long!

Notes

  • Storage: Keep your honey mustard in a glass jar for best quality. The flavors will deepen over time, making it even tastier.
  • Experiment with Add-Ins: Try adding fresh herbs like dill or parsley for an herbaceous twist.
  • Honey Choices: If you have flavored honey, use it to impart a unique taste.
  • Make It Vegan: Substitute Greek yogurt with silken tofu for a vegan version.
  • Texture Adjustments: If you prefer a thinner sauce, just add a bit of water until you reach your desired consistency.
