Pink Sauce
Method
Pink Sauce
Combine base
In a medium bowl, add 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup ketchup, and 1/4 cup sour cream. Whisk together until smooth and fully blended.
Season and balance flavors
Add 1 tsp hot sauce, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp honey to the bowl. Whisk thoroughly, tasting as you go and adjusting heat, acidity, or sweetness to preference (add more hot sauce for heat, more lemon for brightness, or more honey for sweetness).
Finish and chill
If using, fold in 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Stir once more before serving.
Serving suggestion and storage
Serve chilled alongside fries, grilled vegetables, seafood, or as a sandwich spread. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; stir before use. Yield is approximately 1 3/4 cups.
