How to Make Accidental Onion Ring Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard.
  2. Add 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and a pinch of black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed – more vinegar for tang, more mayo for creaminess, etc.

  4. Dip your onion rings (or any other tasty treat!) and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
