This easy dill honey mustard sauce is the perfect condiment for crab cakes, fish cakes, burgers, sandwiches and more. It's similar to a dressing with a mild sweetness that is balanced by acidity from rice vinegar and sharpness from Dijon and red onion.

Recipe ingredients and notes:

Rice vinegar works great in this recipe because it has a nice acidity but is not as harsh as some other vinegars.
Diced red onion not only adds sharpness and flavor to this sauce, it also adds great texture.
Fresh dill is a must for this recipe and I don't recommend substituting dried dill weed. The flavor of dried dill is quite different from that of the fresh herb and simply doesn't work in this sauce.
