Important Tips and Tricks
- Adjust Spice Levels: Taste and adjust the spices to suit your preferences. If you like it spicier, add more hot sauce or cayenne pepper. For a milder version, reduce the amount of these ingredients.
- Blend for Smoothness: For a smoother texture, you can blend the sauce ingredients using an immersion blender or a food processor. This helps combine the flavors more thoroughly.
- Let it Rest: Allow the sauce to sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This gives the flavors time to meld and develop a deeper taste.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Freshly minced garlic and high-quality mayonnaise can make a significant difference in flavor and texture.
- Serve Chilled: This sauce is best served chilled, making it a great make-ahead option for parties and gatherings.
