Ingredients
Avocado Oil Mayo – You can use your preferred mayonnaise or even a vegan mayo option. I like using an avocado oil based mayo like Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil Mayo or Chosen Foods Avocado Oil Mayo. Costco usually has the best deal.
Maple Syrup – Maple syrup adds just the right amount of sweetness. Costco also has the best deal for pure maple syrup.
Dijon Mustard – Opt for smooth rather than coarse dijon mustard. Yellow mustard will also work!
