This awesome sauce is beyond delicious! It gives bland food a kick of flavor and never disappoints! Smother it on top of burgers, drizzle it on veggies, or use it as a dressing for salads. You just can’t go wrong!
What Makes This Recipe Work
This Awesome Sauce recipe is not only delicious, but it is one that is near and dear to my heart. I grew up with a fabulous southern grandmama who probably was the best cook around. Her food always made me feel warm and loved. She always used this “special mayo” on everything and it was to die for!
Unfortunately, her version was not Whole30 or Paleo compliant, so I worked to create a new version to share with you all! I am so excited to share this recipe that keeps her memory alive and is Whole30 compliant! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Aww thanks Kelly. Your uplifting comments make my day. Love that you found the sauce to be something you might use often. It’s certainly a hit in our home. Have a blessed weekend.
Do you use chopped raw onions or dehydrated ones? I am very excited to try this sauce!
I just use chopped raw onions
Goodness I love this sauce. I put it on the Philly not so cheesesteaks, eggs, used it as a veggie dip and has been used as my mayo and cheese replacement. It comes in so handy on my low carb days.
This makes me so happy. Thank you
This sauce is seriously the best. It tastes good on almost everything and it’ll make your whole 30 so much easier.
Thank you Sam! This is so nice and I’m so glad you love it.
When Mac mentioned Subbing Greek yogurt for mayo or even changing up the ratio of Greek yogurt to mayo it was so helpful to me! This is one of my favorite sauces!!
