This picture isn't the greatest, but it was only my back-up shot for the one I was going to get at the party I made this dip for, where I knew there would be homemade German pretzels, but then I didn't feel so hot and didn't end up going. The tangy pretzel dip is good with regular pretzels too, though — pictured above is our favorite in a pinch: organic sourdough spelt pretzels — they still have vegetable oils (bummer), but at least they're organic so no GMOs. This recipe was inspired by another one, only of course I adapted it because I'm so picky about my ingredients. Her picture was a little better:
She linked to her recipe for pretzel rolls, and it's made with all real food ingredients, but these days I use mostly Einkorn flour for the nutritional benefits. Soooo soon I'll try the homemade soft pretzel recipe that's in my favorite cookbook: Einkorn – Recipes for Natures Original Wheat. Read my review on that cookbook here: Could THIS be the answer to the gluten sensitivity epidemic??
Aaaaanyway, here's how I make this yummy dip…
Tangy Pretzel Dip
Yield 1 1/3 cup
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup homemade mayo (this is SO easy to make and takes less than 5 minutes!)
- 2/3 cup spicy mustard (any brand is okay, just make sure you recognize all the ingredients) — a little more if you want it to have a bit more kick
- 3 Tablespoons organic brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
This is pretty involved, are you ready? Stir it all together. Tricky, right?

Your recipe for the dip looks really good. My problem is finding pretzels without the nasty oils. Do you buys them from amazon.com?

Hi Linda,
Yes I get those sourdough spelt pretzels from Amazon (https://amzn.to/1GHd8Ny), but they do have veg oils (ick) — that’s why making your own pretzels is better, but in a pinch, at least they’re a step up from most that you find in the store because they’re sourdough and organic, so no GMOs.
