5-Ingredient Alabama White Barbecue Sauce Recipe
If you're a fan of barbecue, you may be familiar with the classic Alabama white sauce. This tangy and creamy sauce is typically used as a dipping sauce for chicken or as a condiment for pulled pork sandwiches. Many recipes for Alabama white sauce can be quite complicated, requiring a long list of ingredients and a lot of preparation time.
Recipe developer Miriam Hahn brings us this recipe for 5-ingredient Alabama white barbeque sauce and says, "I love making simple sauces that can be used for a variety of things. I'm using mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, horseradish, mustard, and garlic salt — all items that I always have on hand and a great combination of zesty flavors. Outside of its traditional uses, this sauce is great as a salad dressing, coleslaw dressing, a dip with vegetables, french fries or zucchini fries. And it's super easy to modify if you follow a vegan diet by just swapping out the standard mayo with vegan mayo."
Gather the ingredients for 5-ingredient Alabama white barbeque sauce
To make this recipe, we'll need some mayo, apple cider vinegar, horseradish, yellow mustard, and garlic salt. "If you don't happen to have apple cider vinegar, white vinegar or even red wine vinegar will work as a substitute. Horseradish comes in various spice levels so if you want your Alabama sauce to have a spicier kick, go for hot horseradish," Hahn shares.
Measure out the ingredients
Get out your measuring utensils to get this sauce going. It shouldn't take but a few minutes to portion out what you need. If you are making the sauce for a crowd, double it!
Combine the ingredients
Take out a small jar or bowl and spoon in the mayonnaise, vinegar, horseradish, mustard, and garlic salt. "I like to use a small whisk to combine the ingredients to make it smooth," Hahn shares.
Serve or store
You can serve the sauce right after mixing but when it sits in the fridge and chills, the flavors are melded together and enhanced. Just make sure to seal it up tight in the fridge and the sauce will last for up to two weeks. Whether you are a barbecue enthusiast or simply looking for a quick and easy sauce to liven up your next meal, this 5-ingredient Alabama white sauce is a must-try.
