Ingredients
- 1 cup Dijon mustard Preferably organic
- ½ cup raw honey Choose a mild variety for balance
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar For a subtle acidity
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil For a silky texture

- ½ teaspoon sea salt Adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper To enhance flavors
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Dijon mustard with 1/2 cup of raw honey. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Add 1/4 cup of white wine vinegar and 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to the mustard and honey mixture. Whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens and becomes glossy.
- Blend in 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Continue to whisk for another minute until all ingredients are well incorporated and the sauce achieves a vibrant yellow hue.
