Ingredients
Scale
Mayonnaise Base:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
Main Spices and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon creole seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried chives
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon horseradish
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly to ensure a smooth, well-integrated sauce with no lumps or separation.
- Focus on blending the mayonnaise, mustard, horseradish, ketchup, lemon juice, parsley, chives, Creole seasoning, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and optional sugar until the mixture reaches a consistent, creamy texture.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop and intensify, creating a more robust and harmonious taste profile.
- Before serving, give the sauce a quick stir to redistribute the ingredients and restore its creamy consistency.
- Serve chilled as a versatile condiment, perfect for drizzling over seafood, spreading on sandwiches, or using as a zesty dipping sauce for various dishes.
Notes
- Chilling the sauce enhances flavor depth by allowing ingredients to blend and intensify their individual notes.
- Consider swapping mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or vegan mayo for lighter, dietary-friendly alternatives that maintain creamy texture.
- Adjust spice levels by increasing or decreasing Creole seasoning and horseradish to match personal heat preferences.
- Fresh herbs make a significant difference, so use freshly chopped parsley and chives instead of dried versions for brighter, more vibrant taste.
