Boom Boom Sauce: the Ultimate Party Dip

Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time0 minutes
Total Time5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce (adjust to your heat tolerance)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • optional a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine mayonnaise and ketchup. Stir until smooth—no streaks, please.
  • Add honey, hot sauce, and spices. Whisk again until everything is evenly dispersed and luscious.
  • Taste and tweak. More heat? More honey? You’re the boss. If it’s too thick, splash in a tiny bit of water or lemon juice.
  • Chill for at least 15 minutes. Flavor friends, rest, mingle, then attack.
  • Serve with your favorite snacks and pretend you’re a chef on a sunny game show. You’ve earned the applause (in your head, at least).
