Yum Yum Sauce
Description
Yum Yum Sauce combines mayonnaise with tomato paste and melted butter as its creamy base, enhanced by garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika for aromatic depth. The addition of sugar balances the savory spices, while water adjusts consistency. Mixing all ingredients thoroughly and letting the sauce sit overnight allows the flavors to blend fully and develop a smooth texture.
The sauce offers a mild, tangy, lightly sweet flavor with a smoky undertone from the paprika and optional heat from hot sauce, cayenne pepper, or red chili flakes according to preference. Its creamy texture makes it suitable for dipping, drizzling, or spreading, typically paired with grilled or fried foods.
Yielding approximately 3 cups, the sauce is versatile and can be stored in an airtight container refrigerated, enhancing its taste the longer it rests. Adjust sugar and spice levels to suit taste before the resting period.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste or ketchup
- 2 tablespoons butter melted

- hot sauce (optional)
- cayenne pepper (optional)
- red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a medium bowl or a small food processor. Stir or blend to combine.
