Here are the six simple ingredients you need to make this sauce.
- Mayonnaise (¾ cup – $0.85): I recommend using full-fat mayo for the best texture.
- Honey (¼ cup – $0.75): You can substitute maple syrup, but it will taste a little different.
- Barbecue Sauce (¼ cup – $0.35): A sweeter BBQ sauce will have the best flavor.
- Yellow mustard (2 Tablespoons – $0.05): The mustard adds a slight tang to the flavor.
- Dijon mustard (1 Tablespoon – $0.25): Don’t skip this. It adds a layer of depth and sharpness that is unbeatable.
- Lemon juice (1 Tablespoon – $0.05): Use ½ Tablespoon white vinegar as a substitute if needed.
The recipe cost is calculated based on the amounts needed and may vary due to fluctuating grocery costs.
