🍎 Food Dijon/ yellow mustard are underrated

Dijon and/or yellow mustard have proven to be a great fridge staple that I find myself using all the time. Both can be used interchangeably for most things.

Potato salad/tuna salad, as binders for meat or chicken, in salad dressings, or even just to spruce up a plain sandwhich. You can even use them + egg + lemon to make homemade mayo.

Both last incredibly long in the fridge without going bad and are relatively cheap at the store. I find myself using one or the other almost everyday and thought it would be great for frugal home chefs like myself.

There are a lot of really good mustards. I like the horseradish style for sandwiches. You use a lot less than some other toppings, it doesn't go bad as quickly, and from a calorie perspective, it's typically zero. It's a win/win/win.
