Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

Spices and Flavorings

  • 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1-2 dashes hot sauce (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Collect fresh mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, horseradish, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and optional hot sauce. Having everything prepped ahead helps the process go smoothly.
  2. Combine the Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar until smooth and creamy. This forms the rich, tangy foundation of your Alabama White BBQ Sauce.
  3. Add the Flavor Boosters: Mix in horseradish, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the spices evenly throughout the sauce.
  4. Adjust Heat and Consistency: If you like it spicier, add hot sauce to taste. For a thinner consistency, include a little more vinegar or a splash of water and whisk until smooth.
  5. Chill and Marinate: Let the sauce chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully before using.

Notes

  • Use fresh apple cider vinegar and freshly ground black pepper for the best flavor.
  • Taste as you go and adjust vinegar or mayonnaise to get the perfect creamy-tangy ratio.
  • Chilling the sauce for a couple of hours intensifies flavor and improves texture.
  • Use a good-quality mayonnaise for noticeable creaminess and taste.
  • For a lighter dressing option, add a little buttermilk or milk to thin the sauce.
