Ingredients

▢ 115 g mayonnaise
▢ 1½ teaspoon black pepper powder
▢ 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

In a bowl, add the mayonnaise. Add black pepper powder to the mayonnaise. Pour Worcestershire sauce into the mayonnaise.
Stir everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more pepper for extra heat if desired.
For the best flavor, refrigerate the pepper mayonnaise for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Use as a dip, spread for sandwiches, or as a topping for burgers or fries!

Notes

Use Good-Quality Mayo: Since the mayo is the heart of this sauce, I like to choose a creamy, rich one; it makes all the difference in flavor and texture.

Worcestershire Sauce: This brings in that deep, savory flavor with just a touch of tang. I usually start with half a teaspoon and taste as I go; it’s easy to add more, but too much can take over.

Blend Well: I always make sure everything is stirred together until smooth. That way, every spoonful has the same balanced taste.

Chill Before Serving: Letting it rest in the fridge for at least half an hour helps the flavors meld beautifully. It’s even better the next day, so I often make it ahead.

Try Add-ins: This is such a flexible base, I sometimes mix in a bit of minced garlic, a squeeze of lemon juice, or a touch of Dijon mustard when I want to change things up.
