How to Make Curry Mustard Sauce: A Pollo Tropical Copycat Recipe

I have a totally weird obsession with the curry mustard at Pollo Tropical. It's that delicious, perfect balance of tangy and mild, making every bite of a sandwich or snack nothing short of divine. Fueled by my love for this sauce, I set out to find the recipe. After researching online and reading through several unreliable versions, I finally decided to experiment with the ingredients I had at hand. Guess what? The result is ABSOLUTELY awesomeness! And it's so much easier to make than those overly-complicated recipes I found.

About the sauce, it's mildly flavorful yet packed with that perfect balance of spices and tanginess. You can use it on a variety of dishes, from sandwiches and salads to dips. But, I'm particularly excited about trying it as a marinade for my next steak sandwich or even in some ham and cheese croissants!

Ingredients

Mayonnaise: Whether you choose full-fat, low-fat, or fat-free, it really depends on your preference. Make sure it's not Miracle Whip as the flavor won't be the same. Yellow Mustard: This is the traditional kind you use on hotdogs. It provides that notable tanginess. Curry Powder: My go-to is the Blue Mountain Country Hot Jamaican Curry Powder. It's important to note that the amount used here is not enough to make it spicy, just mildly flavorful.

How to Make Curry Mustard Sauce

Step 1: Combine Ingredients

Simply mix together the mustard, mayonnaise, and curry powder in a bowl. No measuring cups or precise amounts required; the goal is to get a smooth blend that's not too thick or too thin.

Step 2: Whisk Until Fully Incorporated

Once all the ingredients are mixed together, give the mixture a vigorous whisk to fully incorporate everything. The end result should be a smooth, creamy mixture that holds the flavors well.

Step 3: Storage Tips

If you're not planning to use the sauce right away, store it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. It can last for a few days, but be sure to give it a swirl before each use as the ingredients may separate.

With this easy and delicious curry mustard sauce recipe, you'll never look back at store-bought versions. It's the perfect blend of mild spiciness and tanginess, and it opens up a world of flavor possibilities. Whether you're slathering it on a sandwich, tossing it into a salad, or experimenting with new marinade ideas, this curry mustard sauce is worth every bit of effort. So dive right in and start your culinary adventure!
