Different types of mustards
Mustard is a delightful condiment with a variety of uses, ranging in flavor from mild to strong. We like to think there's a mustard for every mood!
Here's a quick breakdown of the most common types:
- Dijon – originating in Dijon, France, this classic sharp mustard offers a complex tang with a bit of heat.
- Yellow – this American mustard is most iconically used as a condiment on hotdogs and burgers, but its mild and slightly acidic flavor works well in sauces.
- Whole grain – the mustard seeds are only partially blended, resulting in mustard that's coarse yet slightly pasty.
- German – this is an umbrella term for the many varieties of German-style mustards. A Bavarian will be sweeter whereas a Düsseldorf will be hotter.
- Honey – a blend of honey and mustard tames the heat and bitterness making this mustard smooth and tasty on its own as a dip.
Mayo mustard sauce ingredients
You only need two ingredients to make this simple sauce. Here's what you'll need:
- Mayonnaise – use your favorite mayonnaise, or what you have on hand.
- Mustard – we used German mustard, which is seasoned and tastes a bit like a mild dijon. If you enjoy the flavor of yellow mustard, go ahead and use that. For a bit of heat, dijon is lovely. Or, if you want a little sweetness, opt for Bavarian-style sweet mustard.
