Main Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise Use a good quality mayonnaise.
  • 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce Go for a classic, slightly smoky BBQ sauce.
  • 1 tablespoon honey Adjust based on the sweetness of your BBQ sauce.
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard Yellow mustard adds tang; avoid Dijon.
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice Optional, for brightness.

Preparation
  1. Add all ingredients to a small bowl.
  2. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Taste and adjust the flavor as needed. Add more honey for sweetness or more mustard for tang.
  4. Cover and chill for at least 20 minutes if possible; if not, it's still delicious right away.

Mix your sauce, then taste it after five minutes to let the flavors meld. Refrigerate in a clean container for 5 to 7 days.
