FAQs

   Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Always stir before using!
3. Is this honey mustard recipe gluten-free?
   Most Dijon mustards are gluten-free, but check the labels to ensure your specific ingredients meet dietary needs.
4. Can I make this dairy-free?
