Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey or sugar-free sweetener
• 4 tablespoons Low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt (optional, to taste)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and honey (or sugar-free sweetener) until smooth.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, combine the vegetable broth and cornstarch. Whisk thoroughly to dissolve the cornstarch completely, ensuring no lumps remain.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the broth mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly to prevent sticking or clumping.

Step 4

Once the mixture has slightly thickened (about 2 minutes), lower the heat and stir in the mustard-vinegar mix, garlic powder, black pepper, and optional salt. Whisk to fully incorporate all ingredients.

Step 5

Allow the sauce to cook for another 2-3 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency. If the sauce becomes too thick, add 1-2 teaspoons of vegetable broth to thin it out.

Step 6

Remove from heat and let the sauce cool for 1-2 minutes. Serve warm over steamed greens like kale, collards, or Swiss chard, or as a dipping sauce for roasted vegetables.
