Scale

Shut Yo Mouth Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Instructions

  1. Mix the Base: In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Stir until smooth and well blended.
  2. Add Tanginess: Whisk in the apple cider vinegar to introduce a bright, tangy layer of flavor.
  3. Add Heat: Stir in the hot sauce, adjusting the quantity based on your preferred spice level.
  4. Season: Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika to build rich, balanced flavors.
  5. Optional Extra Heat: If you like your sauce spicier, add a small amount of cayenne pepper and stir well.
  6. Balance Flavors: Stir in the honey or sugar to balance the tanginess and heat with a touch of sweetness.
  7. Final Seasoning: Add the salt and freshly ground black pepper, then mix everything thoroughly until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  8. Serve or Chill: Use the sauce immediately or refrigerate to allow the flavors to develop further. The sauce will stay fresh in the fridge for up to one week.

Notes

  • Adjust the hot sauce and cayenne pepper to control the spice intensity according to your preference.
  • For a vegan version, substitute mayonnaise with a plant-based mayo and honey with maple syrup.
  • This sauce pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, sandwiches, burgers, and roasted vegetables.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within one week.
