Ingredients

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a small bowl or air tight container.
  • Place sauce in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Stir before using.

Notes

  • Chill for Best Flavor: Even a quick 30-minute chill enhances the taste, but an hour or overnight lets the flavors fully develop.
  • Check Consistency After Chilling: The sauce will thicken as it rests. Stir and adjust before serving — more mayo for thickness, more lemon juice for a thinner texture.
