1. Better dressings

    A teaspoon of Dijon keeps oil and vinegar mixed.

  2. Potato salad

    A spoonful in the dressing wakes the whole bowl up.

  3. Mac and cheese

    A little Dijon makes it cheesier, not mustardy.

  3. 3Spoon most of the glaze over the chicken and roast for 20 minutes.

  • Know the styles

    Yellow is mild, spicy brown has more bite, Dijon is smooth and sharp, and whole grain is chunky and gentle.

  • Short ingredient list

    Good mustard is seeds, liquid, salt and maybe spices. It doesn't need much else.

  • Honey mustard

    Sweet versions are great for dipping, but they won't do the same job in a dressing.
