Sauce Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise (Substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (Adds tanginess)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (Can be replaced with white vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (Use fresh minced garlic for a sharper taste)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (Regular paprika can be used if unavailable)
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (Adjust according to spice preference)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (Select based on desired heat level)
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (Adjust based on personal taste)
Instructions
- Combine the base ingredients. In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until everything is smooth and creamy, creating the foundation for your sauce.
- Add spices. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure all the spices are thoroughly blended into the mixture, imparting rich flavor and smokiness.
- Incorporate heat and sweetness. Add your choice of hot sauce along with honey or sugar. Mix carefully, adjusting the heat and sweetness to your personal taste preferences to achieve the perfect balance.
- Chill the sauce. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to meld together and intensify for a better taste experience.
- Serve and enjoy. Use this creamy, flavorful sauce as a dip or drizzle it over your favorite dishes such as burgers, tacos, or fries to add a delicious kick.
Notes
- For a lighter, healthier version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper and hot sauce to customize the spiciness according to your preference.
- Use fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder for a sharper, more vibrant garlic flavor.
- Honey can be replaced with sugar if you prefer a more neutral sweetness.
- Store the sauce covered in the refrigerator for up to one week.
