Main Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spice preference)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (your favorite brand)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Dijon mustard, and honey until smooth, ensuring the base is creamy and well mixed.
- Add Acidic Components: Incorporate the apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice into the mixture, stirring well to blend the sharp, tangy flavors evenly.
- Mix in Spices: Add smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir thoroughly until all the spices are fully incorporated, creating a depth of flavor.
- Finish with Heat: Pour in the hot sauce and mix thoroughly, adjusting the amount as needed to suit your preferred spice level.
- Blend for Smoothness: For a perfectly smooth texture, blend the sauce for about 30 seconds using an immersion blender or a standard blender, which helps meld the flavors seamlessly.
- Chill and Serve: Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using so the flavors can meld together beautifully, enhancing the overall taste.
Notes
- Using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise makes the sauce lighter and adds a subtle tang.
- Adjust cayenne pepper and hot sauce quantities to control spice levels.
- This sauce can be stored refrigerated for up to one week in an airtight container.
- Perfect as a dip, sandwich spread, or salad dressing.
- For a vegan version, substitute mayonnaise with a plant-based mayo and ensure Worcestershire sauce is vegan.
