Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, water, and white vinegar in a medium bowl.
- Add the cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the bowl.
- Whisk all ingredients together until the sauce is completely smooth and uniform in color.
- Taste the sauce and adjust salt or vinegar if needed for your preference.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes before using to allow the flavors to blend.
Notes
- If the sauce seems too thick after chilling, add water, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach a spreadable consistency.
- This sauce works well as a dipping sauce for fries or other Mexican-style dishes.
- For a slight color change, you can add a tiny pinch of turmeric, though this is not traditional for the copycat version.
