  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Airtight container (for storage)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup prepared yellow mustard
  • 2 teaspoons dried minced onion
  • ¼ teaspoon dried minced garlic
  • teaspoon white vinegar
  • hot sauce to taste
  • seasoned pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add 1 cup mayonnaise to a mixing bowl.
  • Mix in ½ cup ketchup and ¼ cup yellow mustard.
    This image captures ketchup and yellow mustard being added into the glass bowl already containing mayonnaise. The vibrant red of ketchup and the bright yellow mustard contrast with the creamy base, creating a colorful mixture. Measuring spoons and bottles of both condiments rest nearby on the clean white marble counter, making this step visually appealing.
  • Add 2 tsp dried minced onion and ¼ tsp dried minced garlic.
    Two teaspoons of dried minced onion and a quarter teaspoon of dried minced garlic are being sprinkled into the sauce mixture of mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard. The image shows a close-up of the dry seasonings landing on the creamy surface, with small spice jars and a spoon nearby on the white marble surface.
  • Stir in ⅛ tsp white vinegar.
    A spoonful of white vinegar is being stirred into the thick, flavorful sauce mixture. The image showcases the clear vinegar blending into the mix, adding tanginess. A small bottle of vinegar and a measuring spoon are placed next to the bowl, all arranged neatly on the pristine white marble countertop.
  • Add hot sauce and seasoned pepper to taste.
    Hot sauce and seasoned pepper are being added to the bowl containing the creamy sauce. A few drops of hot sauce create a swirling effect in the mixture, and flecks of pepper are visible across the surface. Hot sauce bottles and pepper containers sit nearby, all placed on a tidy white marble counter.
  • Whisk everything until smooth and creamy.
    A stainless steel whisk is used to blend all the ingredients—mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, dried onion, garlic, vinegar, hot sauce, and pepper—into a smooth and creamy consistency. The glass bowl shows a unified, velvety sauce, and the clean marble background enhances the visual appeal of this simple yet delicious step.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
