Maple Dijon Dipping Sauce

This maple Dijon dipping sauce has the perfect balance of sharp and sweet flavors and goes great with sausage bites, chicken, wraps and more.

My ingredient notes:

• I added a little bit of mayo just to get rid of the slightly mealy texture of the Dijon. It's not enough to make the sauce actually taste like mayonnaise.
• I used equal amounts (by volume) of Dijon and maple syrup here for a strong sweetness that keeps the Dijon flavor from becoming overwhelming. And because maple syrup has such a multidimensional flavor profile, the sweetness is nicely complex and the sauce is not just sweet.
• Tarragon and mustard is a classic flavor combination that I've used often before, like in this maple Dijon marinade and this tarragon mustard. The licorice-like flavor of the herb works great with the intense sweet and sharp flavors in this sauce.
