Mustard-Based Dipping Sauces

Scout's Creamy, Balanced Dip Doubles as a Spread

Many dips rely heavily on dairy bases, but specialty pantry brand Scout sets itself apart with a mustard-based dipping sauce and spread that brings a smooth, balanced flavor to snacks and entertaining spreads. Scout's Original Mustard Dipping Sauce gleans from a traditional family recipe, and comes together thanks to ingredients like distilled white vinegar (diluted with water to 5% acid strength,) sugar, egg, whole milk, butter, and of course, mustard, and a few other essentials.

This versatile product is made for dipping with everything from pretzels and sausages to fries and protein, and as a spread, it instantly adds flavor to sandwiches or the deconstructed ingredients of a sandwich—meat, cheese, vegetables and bread—found on charcuterie boards.
