Creamy, tangy, sweet, and with just the right amount of heat, this five-ingredient wonder is basically a tropical island paradise in a bowl. If you’re someone who can’t resist honey mustard, fresh cilantro, and a little Caribbean flair, get ready to fall head over heels, because this jerk-seasoned honey mustard is going to instantly become your new go-to sauce for drizzling over chicken, pork, seafood, vegetables, and salads.
After a few months off, I finally, finally, finally made it back into the kitchen. For one day, at least. And during that day, I managed to go through almost half a jar of Brown Sugar Caribbean Jerk Seasoning. I started off by making this honey mustard sauce. Which, if I do say so myself, is quite the little five-ingredient sauce. I used it to make not one, but two things for dinner. First, a few Caribbean Honey Mustard Deviled Eggs, because, come on, why shouldn’t we enjoy some sweet and spicy deviled eggs on a random ol’ Tuesday? And second, Caribbean Pineapple & Honey Mustard Pork Chops. Which, oh my goodness gracious, were absolutely heavenly. I pretty much took four Plain Jane pork chops, rubbed them down with a bit of the honey mustard sauce, and then sent them out to the grill with B.O.B. Bob. When they were grilled to perfection, I sat them on top of a bed of fresh baby spinach, drizzled with a bit more of the honey mustard sauce. Then, I topped them off with a Pineapple & Sweet Yellow Onion Caribbean Salsa. So, yeah, I guess you could say that we finally, finally, finally had a pretty decent homemade meal for a change. And, as an added bonus, we’ll have some Sweet & Spicy Jerk Seasoned Cheez-It Crackers to share for game night this week. Some might say I went a little bit overboard with the Caribbean seasoning today. But not me. It was a welcome weekday tropical staycation escape.
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup Mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- 1 Tablespoon + 1 Teaspoon Spicy Brown Mustard
- 2 to 3 Teaspoons Jerk Seasoning (See Suggestions)
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Cilantro, Very Finely Chopped
Directions:
- Place all of the ingredients into a glass bowl. Use a small whisk to whisk all of the ingredients together until smooth.
- Store in an airtight glass container or cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until use.
Suggestions:
- To make this recipe, I used homemade Brown Sugar Caribbean Jerk Seasoning. Crafted with the perfect blend of spices and the subtle sweetness of brown sugar, this homemade jerk seasoning is a lovely way to add a slightly sweet flavorful Caribbean spice profile to your everyday recipes. If you use a store-bought jerk seasoning, you may want to start with 2 teaspoons instead of 3 teaspoons. The store-bought version will most assuredly contain more salt. And, if you’re someone who doesn’t like a whole lot of heat, starting with 2 teaspoons may also be a good idea.
- You can use this dressing right away; however, it will taste best after it has been refrigerated for a few hours, allowing the flavors to come together.
- This honey mustard sauce can be used for so many things. It’s best with chicken, fish, pork, and shrimp, however, there are so many other possibilities. Sprinkle a little on olive oil-coated roasted potatoes or vegetables, or use it to make a spicy deviled egg filling. You can even add it to pasta salad or potato salad instead of plain mayonnaise.
Improvements:
- Add a 1/4 teaspoon of onion or garlic powder to this honey mustard sauce.
- Serve this honey mustard sauce with these Crunchy Corn Flake Oven-Baked Chicken Tenders.
- Add the zest and juice of a lime for added tanginess.
