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!

This is a game changer for the whole 30! Thank you!
I did a Whole30 in September and have enjoyed the mayo quite regularly. I don’t know why on earth I waited so long to try this sauce. DELISH.
the best sauce for every dish!
So glad you love it!
OMG!! This sauce! I can’t eat a burger without it. It is so easy and so so good.
Thank you Ashley! This is so awesome to hear.
Living right outside of Philadelphia cheesteaks are a staple around here. When going dairy free I thought I was done eating them, but this sauce changed that for me. It’s so good and I didn’t feel like I was missing out on one of my favorite treats.
Awww, thanks Maria! So glad I was able to create a cheese substitute that would allow you to still enjoy the Philly steak feel. Thanks for sharing;-)
This is the most magical sauce! Makes everything better!
