Comeback Sauce

25 min · 1.25 cups

Ingredients

□ 1 cup mayonnaise

□ 2 tbsp ketchup

□ 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

□ 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

□ 1 1/2 tsp hot sauce

□ 1 small garlic clove, finely grated

□ 1/2 tsp paprika

□ 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

□ 1/8 tsp kosher salt

1. Whisk mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire, and 1 tsp hot sauce. Stir grated garlic with 1 tbsp lemon juice, paprika, pepper, and salt.

2. Whisk the lemon mixture into the mayonnaise base until smooth, creamy, and evenly pale orange.

3. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes so the garlic mellows and the flavors settle.

4. Taste cold; add reserved lemon juice 1 tsp at a time for tang or a few drops of hot sauce for heat.

5. Serve as a dip or thin sandwich spread; cover and refrigerate what remains.

Cook’s note: Taste the sauce cold before adjusting; chilling rounds the garlic and chile.
