👩🍳 Frequently asked questions
Can I adjust the tanginess of Dijonnaise?
Absolutely! To tweak the tang, experiment with the amount of mustard sauce and lemon juice. A little goes a long way, so add a small quantity first then gradually add more to achieve your desired flavor.
How do you get perfectly creamy Dijonnaise?
Start by adding small amounts of ingredients to your small bowl, whisking as you go. This way, you can easily control the thickness and make adjustments as needed.
What's the secret to preventing curdling or separation?
Curdling can happen if ingredients are added too quickly. To avoid this, drizzle the oil in slowly as you whisk, ensuring everything emulsifies beautifully. A gentle hand and patience are key to maintaining the perfect creamy texture of your Dijonnaise.

When stored in an airtight container in the fridge, Dijonnaise can stay fresh for up to a week.
