Step 1
In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, mustard, horseradish, garlic powder, salt, pepper, chipotle pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Give everything a good whisk until it’s well blended and smooth. Cover the bowl and let the sauce sit for about an hour to let the flavors really come together. After that, it’s ready to use—perfect for dipping or drizzling over your favorite grilled meats. If you have time, letting it chill in the fridge makes the flavors even better.
Why you’ll love it
This tangy and creamy sauce offers a unique twist on classic barbecue flavors. Its bold combination of mayonnaise, vinegar, and spices creates a refreshing contrast to smoky grilled meats. It’s perfect for those who want something different from traditional red sauces.
How to serve
This sauce pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken, pork, or turkey. It also works well as a dip for vegetables or a spread on sandwiches and burgers. Drizzle it over roasted potatoes for an extra burst of flavor.
Storage & leftovers
Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to one week. Always stir before using, as ingredients may separate over time.
