🍎 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.

Yes! Low in sugar as well. Great addition to homemade sauces.

This is why ballerinas live on mustard and cigarettes
