How people cook with it
Dijon mustard is a versatile ingredient that can elevate many dishes. It adds depth and complexity to both simple and elaborate meals.
- Marinades for meats

You can use Dijon mustard straight from the jar as a spread on sandwiches and burgers, or as a dip for pretzels and other snacks.

It also forms the base for many classic sauces, like hollandaise or a simple pan sauce for roasted meats. Its bold flavor can cut through richness and add brightness to any dish.
