Recipe Tips & Variations

For even more flavor, add a pinch of celery salt or for more heat some Frank’s hot sauce. A pinch of Old Bay or Tony Chachere’s is also a great option. The seasonings are completely customizable to your preference.
For a smoother texture, try pulsing everything in a food processor.
Letting the sauce rest in the refrigerator is critical to developing the flavors. 6-24 hours is the best amount of time to chill.
The black pepper adds the extra kick needed in this sauce, so don’t skimp on it.

Storing & Freezing

Storing: Place the sauce in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Spoon out the amount of sauce you want to use at a time rather than dipping directly into the bowl. This will allow the sauce to be stored longer.

Freezing: Sauces with mayo do not freeze well.
