This riff on Alabama white sauce layers sharp horseradish and fresh dill over the classic mayonnaise-and-vinegar base, giving it extra bite and a grassy, herbal finish. It's traditionally brushed on smoked chicken, but works equally well as a dip for fries or a drizzle over grilled vegetables. A short rest in the refrigerator lets the flavors meld before serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish, drained
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar until smooth.

  2. Add the horseradish, dill, black pepper, garlic powder, sugar, salt, cayenne, and lemon juice. Whisk until fully combined.

  3. Cover and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

  4. Stir the sauce well before serving, and adjust salt or cayenne to taste.
