Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice and high-quality mustard to elevate the flavor.
  • Adjust the heat gradually by adding hot sauce or horseradish a little at a time.
  • Chill the sauce for at least 15 minutes before serving to blend flavors and thicken the consistency.
  • Whisk thoroughly to achieve a creamy and well-incorporated sauce.
  • Experiment with different types of mustard (Dijon, whole grain) for varied flavor profiles.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Freezing is not recommended as it can cause separation and affect texture.
  • Serve cold or at room temperature; no reheating needed.
