Notes
- Use quality mayonnaise as it significantly impacts the sauce’s creaminess and flavor.
- Add hot sauce gradually, tasting as you go, to control the spiciness without overpowering the sauce.
- Fresh lemon juice is preferred over bottled for a brighter and fresher acidity.
- Finely mince green onions and garlic for uniform flavor distribution and a less harsh bite.
- Chill the sauce before serving to allow flavors to marry and intensify.
- Adjust the heat and seasonings to suit your taste and dietary preferences.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week; do not freeze as the texture may separate.
- Serve cold or at room temperature; avoid reheating.
