My son started making this easy sauce a few months ago, and now we always keep a batch in the fridge. It is honestly so simple, but the way the flavors blend together makes it feel like something much fancier. It is the perfect quick fix when you need a little something extra for your dinner plate.

We love using this sauce on pasta or as a dip for crispy fries. You can also spread it on a sandwich to give your lunch a nice little kick. It really is one of those versatile recipes that makes everyday meals taste special without any fuss.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup tomato ketchup

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the mayonnaise and the ketchup into a small mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Stir the two ingredients together vigorously until the color is uniform and the texture is smooth.

  3. 3

    Taste the sauce and adjust the ratio if you prefer it a bit tangier or creamier.

  4. 4

    Cover the bowl and keep it in the refrigerator for at least thirty minutes before serving to let the flavors settle.

💡 Tips

Store this sauce in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to one week. It tastes even better after it has had time to sit, so try making it ahead of time. You can add a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika if you want to experiment with the flavor.
