Mustard Dipping Sauce

Although most people I know have a sweet tooth, I prefer savory over sweet any day. And, I love dip! Regardless of the type of dip, I’m a confessed dipper. Of course, I don’t double-dip; I’m a polite dipper. My mustard dipping sauce is so scrumptious, I almost lose control when I dip. Not only is the mustard dipping sauce recipe easy to make, it only takes three simple ingredients. 

When I grill vegetables for dinner or make an appetizer board, I always make a mustard dipping sauce. Despite the array of mustard varieties available, I adore stone-ground mustard. 

WHY STONE-GROUND MUSTARD FOR MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE? 

Stone-ground mustard consists of partially ground brown mustard seeds and is often made with vinegar instead of wine. The coarse grind of the seeds and the wine, however, provides a fabulously savory flavor. 

Even though I prefer stone-ground mustard for this mustard dipping sauce recipe, feel free to use your favorite mustard blend. 

OTHER ALTERNATIVE OR FLAVORS FOR MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE

If stone-ground mustard isn’t your thing, here is a guide for choosing a replacement.

Spicy brown mustard is a bit hotter than stone ground mustard. Spicy brown mustard typically has less acidity. 

Dijon mustard, on the other hand, is a smoother alternative to stone ground mustard. Because Dijon mustard often uses wine instead of vinegar, dijon mustard is a bit tangier than spicy. 

Creole mustard’s grainy texture and spice are due to a high ratio of mustard seeds to vinegar, and it sometimes includes garlic and celery seed.

WHAT INGREDIENTS ARE NEEDED FOR SIMPLY MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE?

WHAT TO DIP IN MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE?

For example, tonight, I decided to make asparagus wrapped in thin strips of my oil-free pizza dough. I first saw this asparagus idea in a food magazine, where the asparagus was wrapped with puff pastry. So, to make an oil-free version, I used my oil-free pizza dough recipe.
