Ingredients

Zesty Sauce Ingredients

  • ½ Cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 Teaspoons Prepared Horseradish
  • 1 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 Teaspoon Prepared Mustard
  • 1 Teaspoon White Vinegar
  • 1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • ¼ Teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ Teaspoon Sugar
  • 2 Teaspoons Ketchup
  • 1 Drop Soy Sauce


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, add ½ cup of mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons of prepared horseradish, 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon of prepared mustard, 1 teaspoon of white vinegar, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of sugar, 2 teaspoons of ketchup, and 1 drop of soy sauce.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Use a whisk or spoon to mix all the ingredients together until smooth and well combined, ensuring the cayenne pepper is evenly distributed to provide consistent heat and flavor.
  3. Chill and Serve: For best flavor, refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the ingredients to meld together. The sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
