Notes

  • Adjust Sweetness: If you like your sauce sweeter, feel free to add a bit more sugar or substitute with honey or maple syrup for a natural sweetness.
  • Spice It Up: For a little heat, add sriracha or cayenne pepper in small increments and taste as you go. You can also use chili powder for a more subtle kick.
  • Use High-Quality Mayonnaise: The key to a creamy and flavorful yum yum sauce is a good-quality mayonnaise. If possible, opt for one made with avocado oil or olive oil for a healthier option.
  • Let the Sauce Rest: For the best flavor, allow the sauce to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will give the ingredients time to meld together and enhance the flavor.
  • Storage Tip: Yum yum sauce can last up to 1-2 weeks in the fridge when stored in an airtight container. Make sure to stir it before each use as it may separate slightly over time.
