As far as mayonnaise-based condiments go, this is the condiment that makes everything taste fancy schmancy in a French kinda way. It is sooooo good on sooooo many things. To name a few: French fries, steamed or grilled vegetables, an ordinary ham or turkey sandwich, and, of course, a mouth-watering cheeseburger. There's more. It's great used as a dressing for potato salad. Make a big batch or a small batch, whatever you need, it's only going to take five minutes.
Make a big batch or a small batch -- whatever you need:
For my French-style Dijonnaise:
6 tablespoons high-quality mayonnaise
3 tablespoons Grey Poupon Dijon mustard
1 generous teaspoon dehydrated minced garlic
1 generous teaspoon dehydrated minced onion
1/2 teaspoon coarse-grind black pepper
~ Step 1. Measure and place all ingredients in a 1-cup-size food-storage container. Stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours prior to serving time to allow flavors to marry. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
Try it on my French Onion Burgers w/Caramelized Onions:
Dijonnaise -- Mayonaise, Dijon Mustard and Spices: Recipe yields about 3/4 cup.
Special Equipment List: 1 cup food-storage container w/tight-fitting lid; spoon
Cook's Note: For me, it's salad season the entire year, however, now that the warm weather has finally arrived, it's real-deal salad season. I'm talking Summer salads made with a wider variety of higher-quality vegetables from local farmers' markets, and, in the upcoming weeks and months, veggies picked from my own garden. These are salads I love to serve next to my favorite grilled meats, poultry, and, yes, even seafood...For that reason, I find myself taking the time to scratch-make dressings and vinaigrettes on a regular basis. For another Dijon-based dressing, try my ~ Sweet & Tangy Honey-Dijon Balsamic Vinaigrette ~.
