Ingredients

Basic Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • Salt , to taste

Optional:

  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Hot sauce , a few drops

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise and ketchup. Stir until completely smooth and evenly pink.
  • Add vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Stir again until fully incorporated.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning. Add hot sauce if you prefer a little heat.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for best flavor. The sauce thickens slightly as it chills.
  • The texture should be smooth and creamy, not runny. The color should be a uniform pale pink.

Notes

  • Chill before serving for the best flavor.
  • Use full-fat mayonnaise for the richest texture.
  • Whisk thoroughly to avoid streaks of ketchup.
  • Adjust vinegar slowly to avoid overpowering tanginess.
