Instructions

Combine Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well until fully blended to create a smooth base for the sauce.
Add Spices and Seasonings: Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and black pepper to your personal taste. Mix thoroughly to ensure all the spices are evenly incorporated.
Incorporate Heat and Sweetness: Add your favorite hot sauce a little at a time, stirring and tasting until you reach desired heat level. Then add honey or sugar to balance the flavors with a touch of sweetness. Stir the sauce well to combine all elements.
Rest and Serve: For best flavor, let the sauce rest in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the spices to meld together beautifully. Use as a dip, spread, or topping as desired.

Notes

This sauce contains mayonnaise but can be made lighter by substituting Greek yogurt.
Adjust cayenne pepper and hot sauce quantities according to your heat preference.
Smoked paprika adds a smoky depth but regular paprika is fine if unavailable.
Vegan option: use agave syrup instead of honey and vegan mayo or yogurt.
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container; best consumed within 5 days.
