This was SO easy to make! It was delicious. We had it with grilled salmon and the sauce was also delicious on the salmon and wonderful with the cold leftover salmon the next day.

I, too, was delighted by the show with Carla, what a joyful, light way of being she has! Was glad to learn of this recipe and am using it for Easter dinner, as a change from the usual hollandaise sauce, and considerably easier to make and clean up from afterward. I used Grey Poupon along with the spicy brown mustard for an extra depth of flavor. Thank you!
