REVIEW:
Mustard is a very popular condiment to put on burgers and hot dogs and, with a little honey added, can even be used in salad dressings and marinades.  Mustard has a very bold spicy and tangy flavor, but with the addition of honey, it gets mellowed out.  I am personally a big fan of honey mustard so I was especially excited when Whitson’s Chili Products out of Texas sent us their Bee Stings Spicy Honey Mustard Salad Dressing and Marinade to try.

With the name Bee Stings: Spicy Honey Mustard Salad Dressing and Marinade and a bee with a chili as its body, I was bit scared of how spicy this honey mustard was going to be.  You can rest assured because this spicy honey mustard was not as spicy as I had anticipated.  My first impression was that it had a very nice mustard aroma.  The flavor was also very nice; tangy with a little hint of sweet and a kick at the end.
Nutrition Facts

This sauce is meant to be uses as a salad dressing or marinade and the consistency of it is perfect.  It is thin enough that it pours easily and it is thick enough so that it will stick to the food you are using it on.  We decided to use this dressing over some fresh greens from our garden.  The flavor of the dressing is very strong so I decided to go a little light with it.  You may want to taste it before using it to see if you want to thin it out a little.  The first time around, I decided to just use it as is and we thought it was a little too strong of a flavor for our salad.  The second time around, I thinned it out a little with some olive oil and to mellow out the flavor, I added some agave sweetener.  We have not tried this sauce as a marinade yet, but with such a strong flavor, I think it is better suited as a marinade. 

Overall, we liked this dressing a lot.  It is a good base to start with.  If you’re using it as a marinade, just use it as is, but if you’re using it as a salad dressing, I recommend thinning it out a little and maybe adding a little sweetener to it.  For more information about Whitson’s Spicy Honey Mustard Salad Dressing and Marinade, visit their website at: www.whitsonschile.com

Taste: The flavor of this sauce can be best described as tangy with a hint of sweet and a little spiciness at the end.  The consistency of the sauce is perfect for a salad dressing and marinade. 

Labeling:  The labeling is very simple.  The logo leads you to believe it is a little spicier than it really is.
