FAQs
This condiment will last 1-2 weeks (maybe longer) in the refrigerator, assuming you used mayo that isn’t near its expiration date.
I also tested freezing this sauce and thawing it in the refrigerator. The good news is that texture wasn’t affected at all! As for the flavor, the cayenne pepper got much hotter after sitting in the freezer. So, if you plan to freeze the sauce, I’d leave out the cayenne and stir it in after thawing.
Yes, plain Greek yogurt will work just fine in place of the mayonnaise in this recipe. Full fat Greek yogurt will yield a creamier, richer consistency than the non-fat type.
Absolutely! It would work great on a leafy green salad.
Once you try making this easy condiment, I think you’ll want to have the ingredients on hand for any time. Enjoy!

Notes/Tips
- Freezing Instructions: Mix up the sauce but leave out or cut back on the cayenne pepper (it gets too spicy after being in the freezer). Freeze in a small freezer bag or container for 1-2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator, stir in the 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, and serve.
- Goes great with chicken nuggets, chicken meatballs, or on a Grilled Chicken Sandwich.
- Can we used as a salad dressing, too!
