Homemade Dijonnaise by combining mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Use it as a condiment, dip, or sandwich spread. While it only uses two ingredients, you can shape the overall flavors depending on where the Dijonnaise will be used by adding additional ingredients. Add a bit of lemon juice for tang with a finely grated garlic clove to shape the overall flavors. Even further with added ingredients such as sea salt, black or white pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, sugar, paprika, etc. You can even make it more mustard-forward by adding in more Dijon mustard or adding a bit of horseradish. Shape it your way for your style of Dijonnaise.
Dijonnaise Ingredients
Hellmann’s Mayonnaise & Dijon Mustard.
Mayonnaise
Use Hellmann’s mayonnaise as the base and mix in Dijon mustard. You can substitute Kraft Miracle Whip for a tangier flavor, but Hellmann’s delivers a richer overall taste. If you still want extra tang while using Hellmann’s, add a splash of lemon juice to the mayo.
Dijon Mustard
Try to use peppercorn Dijon mustard or brown mustard for the best flavor and texture. You can also use traditional Dijon with visible mustard speckles throughout. Regular smooth Dijon works as well, though it creates a creamy Dijonnaise instead of a speckled one.
Dijonnaise Ratio
The ratio I use is a 6:1 mayonnaise to Dijon. However, depending on the dish, you can certainly add in more Dijon. Entirely up to you and where the Dijonnaise will be used.
Recipes using Dijonnaise
Use Dijonnaise in countless ways, including as a dip for chicken fingers or nuggets, a spread for deviled eggs or egg salad sandwiches, a topping for hot dogs or sausages, a sauce for steaks or pork chops, or a spread for pita wraps. Below are some of the ways JAHZKITCHEN uses it.
Arch Deluxe Burger
Dijonnaise is used on the original McDonald’s Arch Deluxe Burger. The mayo and mustard are at a 6:1 ratio.
Dijonnaise BLT
Dijonnaise can also be used as the main spread for a BLT Sandwich. The ratio used is a 6:1 for this BLT sandwich.
Sandwich Spread
Use as is, or add a bit of sugar & lemon juice for some sweetness and a bit of tang to use as a deli sandwich spread. The below image is a cold-cut sub with Dijonnaise.
Ham & Cheese Melt Sandwich
Fried ham and Swiss cheese on sourdough bread with Dijonnaise. The outside is buttered with mayo and toasted in the pan until crisp. The Dijonnaise really brings it all together for a wonderful flavor.
Bacon & Swiss Chicken Burger
The Bacon & Swiss chicken burger is a grilled chicken fillet on buttered and toasted brioche buns with bacon, Swiss cheese, and Dijonnaise.
Deli Mayo
Use it as the base for deli mayo by adding more mustard or swapping Dijon for yellow mustard. Deli Mayo creates a sandwich spread very similar to lumberjack spread and pairs perfectly with sandwiches, subs, oven subs, Kaiser rolls, and many other deli-style dishes.
