Notes

  • For a copycat flavor similar to popular fast-food sauces, use a touch less relish and add a pinch of sugar.
  • If you prefer a thinner consistency for dipping, add one teaspoon of water or milk while whisking.
  • This sauce tastes best after chilling for 30 minutes or more.
  • Chef Tariq suggests using high-quality mayonnaise for the best creamy base.
