Comments
Every ingredient is a staple or near-staple at any Charlotte supermarket—mayo, vinegar, garlic, tomato, paprika, salt, and parsley are standard stock at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, and Kroger. The ten-minute claim is honest; this is literally whisking together five items and needs no cooking. At roughly $1.50 to $2 per serving, cost is driven mainly by the mayo and any premium brand of smoked paprika, both reasonable. This is a condiment sauce that keeps well for several days refrigerated and works as a dip, sandwich spread, or side for grilled vegetables or fish, making it genuinely useful for weeknight meals without the fuss of heating or plating.
