How to Make Mock Dijonnaise Substitute

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth.
  2. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
  3. Continue to whisk for 1 minute more, ensuring the mixture is clear and free of lumps.
  4. Remove from heat and immediately transfer the mixture to a small bowl. Let it cool slightly.
  5. Whisk in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream, ensuring a smooth emulsion forms.
  6. Stir in the vinegar, yogurt, Dijon mustard, and horseradish. Whisk until completely combined and creamy.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (add more vinegar for tang, mustard for sharpness, or horseradish for heat).
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The flavor will deepen overnight. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
