Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The wholegrain mustard dressing gives a satisfying tang, though some find the flavour quite strong; consider using less mustard if you prefer a milder result.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to put together, making it a reliable choice for a simple lunch or side dish.
- Suggestions: Use less mustard to suit your taste, and add boiled eggs, peas, or a splash of honey to round out the flavour. Swapping mayonnaise for sour cream, or using a yoghurt-and-mayo mix, can lighten the dressing nicely.
- Next-day meals: Works well as a packed lunch, a snack from the fridge, or a side alongside grilled chicken, salmon, or cold meats.
