Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise 240 g
  • 1/3 cup ketchup 80 g
  • 1 tbsp yellow or Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce optional

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Measure 1 cup mayonnaise into a medium mixing bowl.
  • Add 1/3 cup ketchup and stir until smooth and evenly combined.

  • Stir again before serving; adjust seasoning if needed.
