Recipe Tips

- How to adjust the flavor? The recipe is a great starting point. For a sweeter spread, add a little more honey. For more tang, add more mustard or a tiny splash of apple cider vinegar.
- Can I add herbs or spices? Absolutely. A pinch of cayenne pepper for heat, smoked paprika for smokiness, or finely chopped fresh dill or chives can elevate this simple spread.
- How to get it perfectly smooth? Using a a small whisk is the best way to ensure there are no lumps and the honey fully incorporates into the mayonnaise.
