Recipes for mustard sauces you can make at home are a great option for a piquant addition to meat, fish, cold appetizers or salads.

To make the simplest sauce, besides the main ingredient you may need only mayonnaise, sugar and water. Even so, you have to stick to the order and technique of mixing the products. To create more complex flavor compositions, you may need cream, broth, butter, eggs, greens, lemon juice, honey, ginger root, and spices — salt and pepper. Depending on the chosen recipe and personal preference, the sauce can be made less or more spicy, sweetish, or with a pronounced tang.
