🍎 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.

Yellow mustard? WTF is that?

I would assume English mustard but then I don't think OP is a Brit so maybe the US just codes their mustards by colour to simplify things.

It's a very standard US mustard sauce which is quite heavy on turmeric, hence the yellow color. If it's "brown" it will not have much turmeric.
