Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients until smooth and well combined.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- After resting, taste and adjust seasoning if needed—add more hot sauce for heat or lemon juice for extra tang.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Mustard: You can substitute Creole mustard or Dijon mustard here.
- Garlic Powder: The flavor will become more prominent as the garlic powder hydrates in the sauce. Since I usually make this sauce with an overnight rest, I find that 1/2 teaspoon gives the sauce a good balance. If you prefer a more garlicky sauce, or if you're going to serve it with a shorter resting time, consider increasing the quantity to 1 teaspoon.
- Onion Powder: If you prefer to use fresh yellow or sweet onion in this recipe, finely grate it on a microplane or a box grater so that it dissolves smoothly into the sauce. You'll need 1 tablespoon of grated onion.
- Paprika: I love the flavor that smoked paprika adds to this sauce, but you can also use sweet paprika. If you like your Comeback Sauce to have a more vibrant color, you can also increase the quantity of paprika you add. Some recipes go all the way up to a full tablespoon.
- Hot Sauce: I usually use Tabasco, Crystal, or Frank's Red Hot in this sauce. Adjust the quantity based both on the heat level of the hot sauce you're using and your personal preferences.
