Ingredients

  • 2 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish I use a hot horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon hot sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • 2 tsp. freshly ground pepper— I buy the restaurant grade black pepper which tastes a lot like freshly ground in restaurants.

Instructions

  • Whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Use the white bbq sauce right away, or transfer to a sealable jar and refrigerate a few hours to let the flavors develop and meld.

Notes

Spice Factor: Not too spicy, though you can spice it up if you’d like with hotter powders and/or chili flakes. This isn’t meant to be too hot.
Will last a week in the refrigerator or longer.
