Introduction

Honey mustard is one of those dipping sauces that makes a meal a little more fun, especially when chicken nuggets are on the menu. Kids love it, adults love it, and sometimes a familiar dipping sauce is all it takes to get everyone excited about what’s on their plate.

For families following the GAPS Diet or choosing foods that align with Weston A. Price Foundation principles, finding a store-bought honey mustard with the ingredients you want takes a lot of label reading and research. Making your own condiments at home gives you control over the ingredients and makes it easy to keep things simple and fun.

That’s why we created this simple honey mustard recipe! Our nutrient-dense honey mustard takes just five minutes to make and combines Dijon mustard, raw honey, and homemade mayonnaise plus one unexpected ingredient: Green Pasture Unflavored Fermented Cod Liver Oil and Concentrated Butter Oil Blend Gel.

The bold flavors of the mustard and honey help it seamlessly blend into this creamy, tangy dipping sauce! If you’re always looking for easy recipes for kids that use simple, whole food ingredients, this is a fun one to keep on hand.

Why Add Green Pasture Unflavored Blend to a Honey Mustard Recipe?

Green Pasture Fermented Cod Liver Oil and Concentrated Butter Oil are whole food based oils that provide naturally occurring vitamins, fatty acids, and other nutrients from their traditional food sources.

Our Fermented Cod Liver Oil naturally contains:

• Vitamin A
• Vitamin D
• Omega-3, 6, 7, and 9 fatty acids
• Naturally occurring antioxidants

Our Concentrated Butter Oil naturally contains:

• Vitamin A
• Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)

These naturally occurring nutrients have important roles in the body. Vitamin A supports normal vision, growth, cellular development, and immune function, while vitamin D is involved in calcium metabolism and maintaining bone health. Omega fatty acids are important components of cell membranes, and omega-3s such as EPA and DHA are involved in heart, brain, immune, and endocrine function. CLA is a naturally occurring fatty acid found in dairy fat and meat that has been studied for its role in metabolism and other areas of health.

The best part is, adding these whole food based nutrients to a familiar family favorite is so simple. Ready to make it? Here‘s how to whip up this family-friendly honey mustard in just a few minutes.

Nourishing Honey Mustard Recipe

Serves: About 4, depending on how much dipping sauce you use

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1-2 tablespoons raw honey
• 2 tablespoons homemade mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons Unflavored Fermented Cod Liver Oil and Concentrated Butter Oil Blend Gel
• Pinch of unrefined sea salt
• Optional: squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. Add the Dijon mustard, raw honey, homemade mayo, sea salt, and optional lemon juice to a small bowl or dressing shaker.

3. Add the Unflavored Fermented Cod Liver Oil and Butter Oil Blend Gel at room temperature so that it is in liquid form.

6. Serve with homemade chicken nuggets, chicken tenders, other meats, raw veggies, or your favorite dippable foods.

A Few Ingredient Notes

Dijon mustard: If you’re following the GAPS Diet, check the ingredient label carefully. Choose a mustard without added sugar or unnecessary additives, and make sure the ingredients fit your individual protocol and stage.

Homemade mayonnaise: Try this Weston A Price Foundation recipe or another favorite homemade mayo recipe. Choose a high quality oil or traditional fat that aligns with your way of eating and dietary preferences.

Is This GAPS Diet Friendly?

This recipe can be adapted to fit a GAPS Diet approach, but whether it works for you depends on the ingredients you choose and where you are in the protocol.

Mustard and mayonnaise can vary considerably in their ingredients, and individual tolerance can also differ throughout the various stages of the GAPS Diet. If you are following the GAPS diet therapeutically or working through the introductory stages, use the ingredients appropriate for your individual protocol rather than assuming every version of Dijon mustard or mayonnaise will fit.

Serve It With Homemade Chicken Nuggets

This is one of those easy recipes for kids that works especially well with homemade chicken nuggets or tenders. If you are following the GAPS diet or simply trying to find a whole food recipe, homemade nuggets are an easy way to keep the ingredients simple and make the entire meal feel more aligned with how you want to feed your family.

You can make your own using chicken and a grain-free coating, then cook them in a traditional fat like tallow, lard, or ghee.

If you’re looking for a convenient option, Stefi’s Super Nugget is another great choice. Their grain-free nuggets are made with real-food ingredients and cooked in grass-fed beef tallow, making them a natural pairing with homemade honey mustard.

We believe every part of a meal can be an opportunity to add nourishment, even the dipping sauce!
