Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste (or ketchup)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional but classic)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (reduce for less sweet)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (use smoked paprika for a smoky twist)
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 1-2 tablespoons water, to thin as needed
  • pinch cayenne or a few drops hot sauce (optional, for heat)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and tomato paste (or ketchup) until smooth and evenly colored.
  • Add melted butter, sugar, garlic powder, paprika, and rice vinegar. Whisk until fully combined and silky.
  • Thin with water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached—thicker for dipping, looser for drizzling.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness, tang, or heat (optional cayenne or hot sauce) to preference.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld. Stir before serving.
