Notes

  • Got some sauce left over? Put it in a container and keep it in the fridge. It'll stay good for up to three days.
  • Do you want to change up the flavour? Here are some ideas:
  • If you like it spicy, add more hot sauce and seasoning. But remember more seasoning means more saltiness.
  • If you want to make it creamier, add more mayo.
  • If you like it tangy, squeeze in some extra lemon juice.
  • Feeling adventurous? Try adding some parsley, relish, horseradish, or different pickles to mix things up.
