Tips

  1. • For the most vibrant flavor, use fresh lemon juice instead of bottled. • Allow the sauce to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors fully develop and meld together. • If you prefer a spicier sauce, increase the cayenne pepper gradually to suit your heat tolerance. • Use high-quality mayonnaise as the base for a smoother, richer sauce. • Finely chop green onions to distribute their flavor evenly throughout the sauce. • This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. • For a lighter version, you can substitute part of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
