Substitute for Dijon Mustard: Will Vidalia Onion Dressing Work?

[babywings76]

I'm putting together 3 of the Power cooking recipes. I'm going to make the Dijon Chicken Noodle Toss and bag it up to eat tomorrow for dinner. I don't have Dijon mustard (I could've sworn I had some, so I didn't pick any up when I was at the store.) So, what do you think could be a substitute flavor/dressing I could use? I also don't have regular mustard. I do have Vidalia Onion Dressing (from Costco or Sams Club). Do you think that could work since it's a spicy, zingy type dressing?

Yes, the Vidalia Onion Dressing could work as a substitute for Dijon mustard. The dressing has a nice spicy and zesty flavor that would pair nicely with the other ingredients in the recipe. You can adjust the amount of dressing you use to get the desired flavor. If the dressing is too strong or too sweet, you can also mix it with some olive oil to balance out the flavors.

I think the Vidalia Onion Dressing could work as a substitute for the Dijon mustard. It may not have the exact same flavor, but it will still add a nice tanginess to the dish. You could also try mixing in some honey or honey mustard to give it a little sweetness and balance out the spiciness of the dressing. Another option could be using a combination of mayonnaise and vinegar to mimic the creaminess and tanginess of Dijon mustard. Let us know how it turns out!
