4 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream

recipe tips


For a tangier flavor, increase the amount of white vinegar in the recipe.

Add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor.

Try using different types of mustard like spicy brown mustard or whole grain mustard for a different taste.

To make the dressing lighter, use low-fat or fat-free mayonnaise and sour cream.

Try adding fresh herbs like dill or chives for a fresh twist on the classic dressing.

Drizzle the dressing over grilled vegetables or proteins.

Adjust the consistency of the dressing by adding more mayonnaise for a thicker sauce or more vinegar for a thinner consistency.

If the dressing separates after refrigeration, simply whisk it back together before serving.

    Okay, Lose the Sour cream. Just double the Mayo. This will make it a little thicker and less tart. then Add your white vinegar, your yellow mustard, and your honey. The missing ingredient is the 1/4 teaspoon of cyan pepper. once all this is blended. You wont be disappointed.

  2. wilson REVIEW:

    It’s not an awful recipe but it didn’t live up to my expectations, was making cheeseburgers trying to mock the cheeseburger deluxe from TGIS sand it didn’t taste like the sauce 🤷🏼‍♀️

  3. Brigette REVIEW:

    At first taste by dipping my finger, I was disappointed by how it didn't quite match the taste I remember. But! After I allowed it to sit and flavors to blend, and then tasting it with a salted french fry, it turned into the exact magical recipe I've been searching for. The salt on the fry was key, I think.

  4. Shell1 REVIEW:

    Pretty good. A little strong, needs more honey I think.

  5. lovetocook REVIEW:

    I made this exactly as it says and it was very good. Served it with homemade chicken fingers.

  6. Valerie REVIEW:

    Looking at the other reviews, it seemed that to get good results with this recipe I needed to skip the vinegar which I did. The dressing was a bit thick actually so maybe for a dipping sauce skip the vinegar but if you use it as a dressing add it in. The flavor was great. Just the right combination of tangy and sweet.

  7. Kathi REVIEW:

    Skipped the vinegar and it tasted good and had a good consistency.

  8. Mamadog1 REVIEW:

    I added 2 more Tab. Honey and dropped the sour cream( I was out of it) and poured it over my Pork tenderloin That I was baking. I pricked the roast and poured it over top. I then baked it for another 1/2 hour. Yummy!!!

  9. gypsybella REVIEW:

    leave out the vinegar and this dressing is great! The vinegar made it too runny and detracted from the overall flavor I was trying to achieve.

  10. FAN4JG24 REVIEW:

    PERFECT WITHOUT THE VINEGAR

  11. Chef_de_jour REVIEW:

    Good basic recipe. If you want it a little thicker cut back on the mayo or sour cream and vinegar. I used rice wine vinegar instead of white vinegar. If you want it a little hotter put a 1/4 teaspoon of powered mustard in. Use a dijon mustard instead of salad mustard.

  12. mdnd REVIEW:

    This tastes very good, but it is too thin/runny. I wonder if there is a way to thicken it up. I used French's mustard; maybe dry mustard would be better.
