Special Sauce (Low Calorie)
Description
The Special Sauce combines light mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, plain Greek yogurt, and milk to create a creamy base with balanced acidity and moisture. Finely diced dill pickles and white onions add texture and sharpness, while yellow mustard contributes tang and mild heat. Seasonings of smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and a touch of stevia for sweetness round out the flavor profile.
Blending the ingredients in a food processor or blender achieves a smooth, uniform sauce. Refrigerating at least an hour before serving melds the flavors effectively. The sauce keeps well in an airtight container refrigerated up to a week, making it practical for preparation ahead.
A dairy-free variation can be made by substituting dairy-free yogurt or omitting it and adding additional mayonnaise. The milk quantity can be adjusted to thin the sauce as desired.

- 1/2 cup mayonnaise light
- 1/4 cup ketchup sugar-free, 60g

Notes
