Classic Sandwich Spread

Ingredients:

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley (optional)
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped pickles or relish (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice. Mix until well blended.
2. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
3. If using, fold in the chopped parsley and pickles or relish for added flavor and texture.
4. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
5. Transfer the spread to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using. This allows the flavors to meld together.
6. Use the spread on your favorite sandwiches, wraps, or as a dip for vegetables.

Variations:

• Herb Spread: Add a mix of fresh herbs like basil, dill, and chives for a more aromatic spread.
• Spicy Spread: Mix in a teaspoon of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper for some heat.
• Avocado Spread: Replace half of the mayonnaise with mashed avocado for a creamy, healthier option.
• Cheese Spread: Stir in a 1/4 cup of shredded cheese, such as cheddar or Parmesan, for a cheesy twist.
