Description

A quick and versatile comeback sauce recipe combining mayonnaise, ketchup, and black pepper for a creamy, tangy, and slightly peppery dip perfect for fries, chicken tenders, and more.


Ingredients

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus extra for sprinkling


Instructions

  1. Combine the base sauces: Place equal parts ketchup and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  2. Add black pepper: Sprinkle enough ground black pepper on top to just cover the surface, then stir it into the sauce to evenly distribute the pepper flavor.
  3. Repeat seasoning: Once more, sprinkle black pepper lightly over the sauce and stir it again until fully incorporated for a balanced peppery taste.
  4. Serve and enjoy: Use the comeback sauce immediately as a dip for fries, chicken tenders, or your favorite snacks.

Notes

  • This sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days; stir well before serving.
  • Adjust black pepper quantity to your preferred level of spiciness.
  • For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
  • Ideal as a versatile condiment for sandwiches, burgers, or as a salad dressing base.
