Ingredients
Base Ingredients:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
Spices & Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Prepare the Base
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and white vinegar. Stir thoroughly until the mixture achieves a smooth and uniform consistency.
Incorporate the Seasonings
- Add the smoked paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and salt to the mixture. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the sauce.
Allow the Flavors to Develop
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, let it rest overnight. This enhances the depth and balance of flavors.
Serve and Store
- Use the sauce as a spread for burgers and sandwiches, a dipping sauce for fries and onion rings, or a flavorful topping for grilled meats. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
To ensure this sauce is gluten-free, verify that the Worcestershire sauce used is free from gluten-containing ingredients, as some brands contain malt vinegar derived from barley. Additionally, check the Dijon mustard label to confirm it is gluten-free. All other ingredients are naturally gluten-free.
