Notes

This is a copycat sauce list-only recipe — the source article does not state exact measurements for any ingredient, nor a prep/cook time, nor a serving yield, so Amount/Unit, Prep Time, Cook Time, Servings, and Calories are left blank rather than guessed. It's a no-cook, mix-and-store sauce. Storage: keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Troubleshooting from the source: add a splash of vinegar or water if the sauce is too thick, or a bit more mayonnaise if it's too thin.
