Alabama White BBQ Sauce

Alabama White BBQ Sauce

Alabama White BBQ Sauce is a tangy, creamy barbecue sauce made from mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and a blend of spices. Unlike traditional tomato-based sauces, this sauce offers a bright and refreshing flavor that enhances grilled chicken, pork, roasted vegetables, and more. Quick and easy to prepare, it’s versatile and customizable, making it a must-have addition to your barbecue and grilling repertoire.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients: Measure out mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, horseradish, black pepper, garlic powder, salt, sugar, and optional cayenne pepper. Ensure all ingredients are fresh for the best flavor.
  2. Mix base ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar. Stir until fully blended and smooth.
  3. Add spices: Add black pepper, garlic powder, salt, and horseradish to the mixture. Mix gently but thoroughly to evenly distribute all ingredients.
  4. Taste and adjust: Sample the sauce and add optional cayenne pepper or additional sugar to adjust heat and sweetness according to your preference.
  5. Chill and let flavors meld: Cover the sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to marry beautifully before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality mayonnaise for the best creaminess and flavor.
  • Freshly ground black pepper enhances heat and aroma more than pre-ground.
  • Chilling the sauce mellows the vinegar and blends spices perfectly.
  • Start with less vinegar and increase gradually to balance acidity.
  • Freshly grated horseradish provides more bite but has less shelf life.
