Alabama white sauce

 Alabama white sauce

 

this white sauce goes good with smoked chicken.  You can find many recipes for this online, this is how I made it.

 

1 c avocado oil based mayonnaise  (*)

3 tblsp cider vinegar  (*)

1 tblsp coursely ground black pepper  (*)

2 tsp brown sugar 

1 tblsp dijon mustard

1 tblsp lemon juice

1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce

1/2 tsp garlic powder

pinch onion powder (*)

3/4 tsp salt (*)

pinch or two of cayenne (*)

 

whisk all ingredients together, taste and adjust salt and pepper.  you can add a half tsp of hot sauce if you wish.  if you want it a bit less vinegary try replacing 1 tblsp of vinegar with water.  the simplest recipe i have seen for this has only the ingredients marked with (*) and with just 2 tblsp cider vinegar + 1 tblsp water.
