Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise good quality (such as Duke's)
  • 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic very finely minced or pasted
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped fine
  • 1 teaspoon horseradish
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Tabasco or similar hot sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Chopped green onions for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and stir well until fully incorporated.
  • Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
  • Taste before serving and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Mayo quality matters. This sauce is mostly mayo, so use the best you have. Duke's is a great choice. Avoid fat-free or light mayo.
  • Don't skip the chill time. The sauce tastes flat right after mixing. Two hours is the minimum; overnight is best.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
  • To reduce heat: Swap spicy brown mustard for stone ground or whole grain mustard, or omit the hot sauce.
  • Horseradish substitute: Leave it out or replace with a small amount of extra mustard. The sauce will be slightly milder.
  • Cajun seasoning: This recipe was developed using my homemade Cajun seasoning, but any store-bought blend works. Taste and adjust after chilling since salt and heat levels vary by brand.
  • Storage: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • Freezing: Not recommended. The mayo base will separate once frozen.
