Vegan Honey Mustard
This recipe for vegan honey mustard goes perfectly as a snack dip and a sandwich spread, but it can be used with a wide range of other meals and snacks as well. It’s important to keep in mind for this recipe, however, that honey isn't vegan. So, those looking to stick to totally animal-free products should consider using bee-free honey substitutes made from apple juice. Alternatively, you can avoid using either natural or vegan honey altogether by substituting in some delicious agave nectar. Also, consider adding some salt, pepper, and garlic for a slight touch of extra flavor.
