In yesterday's post I shared with you ALL my knowledge about Dijon mustard and which brand you should be using (you might have been surprised!)

  

I also said I was an expert connoisseur of Dijon mustard, and here’s the proof:

  

Not only have I tasted EVERY Dijon mustard available in the U.S. (and France), for one of my birthdays, I had a Dijon tasting party with baguettes. 13 different Dijon’s were present.

  

When I say I’m a Dijon enthusiast and expert, I really mean it!

  

Can you substitute other mustard for Dijon?

  

NO WAY.

  

Yellow mustard, spicy brown mustard and stone-ground mustard all have totally different flavor profiles that can wreck the dish.

  

An extremely mellow stone-ground mustard that’s smooth and creamy and made with beer (this is a common retail item at breweries) \*might\* work.

  

What if I don’t like Dijon mustard?

  

You could try leaving it out, or using less. What I can say is with most of my recipes, you don’t taste the Dijon mustard at all. It melds into the symphony of flavors in the dish.

  

I also encourage you to try the generic brands I recommended yesterday before writing it off completely. Even if you hate it by itself, you might not mind it in, say, Tofu Scramble.

  

1. 1 Homemade Dijon Mustard Substitute

  

1 tbsp dry mustard powder   
1 ½ tbsp vegan mayo, silken tofu, or vegan yogurt (see note)  
½ to ¾ tsp white wine vinegar

  

Whisk together. Add more vinegar, if desired. You can also add a tiny but of salt, if desired.

  

If you want to use vegan yogurt, choose one of the thick, unsweetened yogurt such as a Culina (coconut-based yogurt) or Kite Hill’s greek-style yogurt.
