Description

Tangy alabama white bbq sauce brings southern charm to grilled meats with its creamy, zesty profile. Mayonnaise, vinegar, and spices create a unique condiment that elevates barbecue classics for you to savor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp prepared horseradish
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Sauce Preparation: Whisk mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard in a medium bowl until achieving a silky, homogeneous consistency with no visible lumps.
  2. Flavor Enhancement: Integrate freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, horseradish, and brown sugar into the creamy mixture, stirring meticulously to create a balanced and complex flavor profile that tingles the palate.
  3. Seasoning Refinement: Carefully sprinkle kosher salt, adjusting to personal taste preferences while maintaining the sauce’s zesty and vibrant character, ensuring each element complements the others harmoniously.
  4. Flavor Melding: Transfer the sauce to a sealed container and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes, allowing the ingredients to marry and develop a deeper, more nuanced taste that elevates any protein or dish it accompanies.
  5. Final Preparation: Before serving, vigorously whisk the chilled sauce to reestablish its smooth texture, making it ideal for drizzling over smoked meats, using as a marinade, or presenting as a bold and tangy dipping condiment.

Notes

  • Balance Vinegar Intensity: Adjust apple cider vinegar quantity based on personal taste preference to control tanginess without overpowering other flavors.
  • Achieve Smooth Consistency: Whisk ingredients vigorously and continuously to prevent lumps and create a creamy, well-integrated sauce texture.
  • Enhance Flavor Depth: Let sauce rest in refrigerator for at least 45 minutes to allow spices to meld and develop a more complex, robust taste profile.
  • Customize Spice Level: Experiment with horseradish and black pepper quantities to personalize heat and create a sauce that matches individual spice tolerance.
