Becky’s Tips

• Yield: This sauce recipe makes about 2¾ cups. A serving is 2 tablespoons.
• For a chunkier texture, try adding some pickle relish.
•  For a healthier option, swap some or all of the mayo for Greek yogurt.
• When I have fresh herbs on hand, I like to mince some up and add them to the sauce for a little extra flavor.
