Honey Mustard Sriracha Sauce
This honey mustard sriracha sauce is sweet, tangy, creamy, and easy to customize depending on how spicy you like it. It comes together in minutes and works perfectly as a dip, drizzle, or sandwich sauce for everything from pulled pork melts to fries and chicken.
I’ve actually been adding plain honey mustard to grilled cheese sandwiches with sliced ham for a while now, but eventually I started feeling like it needed a little something extra. One day I added some sriracha, and that simple change ended up making a huge difference.
The sweetness from the honey, the tang from the mustard, and the little bit of heat from the sriracha balance each other really well without overpowering whatever you’re putting it on. Everyone here at home loves it now, especially on pulled pork grilled cheese melts where it cuts through all the rich, cheesy flavor perfectly.
And the nice thing is that it’s incredibly easy to adjust depending on how spicy you like things. You can keep it mild with just a little sriracha or add more if you want a bigger kick.
