Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp buttermilk
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried dill
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Whisk together the mayonnaise and ketchup in a small bowl until fully combined, then add the buttermilk and white vinegar and whisk until smooth.
  2. Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper, then whisk for 45 seconds until the spices are fully incorporated. Taste and adjust salt.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, then transfer to a small serving dish and drizzle a thin line of ketchup across the top before serving.

Notes

The sauce keeps well for up to 7 days, and the flavor genuinely improves after the first 24 hours as the dried dill and paprika have time to fully absorb. If you are making it for a gathering, the day before is actually the ideal time to prepare it. Stir it briefly before serving since the buttermilk can settle at the bottom.
