ZESTY SAUCE FOR ONION RINGS AND MORE

This zesty onion ring dipping sauce is great for onion rings, but it would also be delicious on a hamburger, a roast beef sandwich, or anything fried.

This sauce has just enough acid and heat to cut through anything deep-fried.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED

We discovered that this combination of ingredients tastes very similar to the original onion ring sauce available at Burger King. Feel free to experiment with the quantities, especially if you prefer a hotter sauce.

• Mayonnaise – Use your favorite mayonnaise brand. You can use either full-fat or low-fat yogurt.

• Ketchup – This gives the dip a little color and sweetness.

• Prepared horseradish – This can be found in the grocery store’s condiments section. Make sure to use prepared horseradish rather than creamy horseradish. This adds another dash of heat.

• Mustard – I prefer yellow mustard, but Dijon or spicy brown mustard could be substituted.

• White vinegar – Apple cider vinegar could be substituted.

• Sugar – A little sweetness to counteract the heat.

• Lemon Juice – Adds a bit of acidity to the dip.

• Cayenne pepper – Adds a spicy kick.

• Salt

HOW TO MAKE BURGER KING ZESTY SAUCE?

1. Collect your ingredients. The great thing about this recipe is that it doesn’t call for any unusual or difficult-to-find ingredients. Purchase mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish sauce, sugar, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper from your local supermarket. You may already have these items in your cabinet and refrigerator! [1]

Low fat mayonnaise and reduced sugar ketchup can be used to make a lighter or lower calorie version.

2. Select a container. This recipe yields 4 to 8 servings of Zesty Sauce, so depending on the occasion, you may be able to finish it all in one sitting. If that’s the case, a small bowl will suffice. If you intend to store your Zesty Sauce, it’s best to make it in a container with a lid. It’s a good idea to clean out an empty condiment bottle and use it for your sauce.

3. Combine all of your ingredients. Squeeze the mayonnaise, ketchup, and horseradish sauce into a measuring cup or spoon, then pour them into the bowl (or condiment bottle, if using). Combine the sugar, lemon juice, and pepper in a mixing bowl.

SERVE UP YOUR SAUCE

After an hour in the refrigerator, the sauce is ready to serve. Believe us when we say that this zesty sauce will not last long.

According to Hahn, this can be served with a variety of foods. “It’s great for people who like a thousand island dressing but want more zip!” she exclaims.

“I mostly use it as a veggie burger topping, but it’s also great in a falafel pita sandwich or a roasted cauliflower wrap!”

It’s also delicious served warm on enchiladas. If you make extra, it will keep in the refrigerator for five days.

WHY THIS COPYCAT BURGER KING ZESTY SAUCE RECIPE IN THE BEST?

I’ve read a few recipes online, and to be honest, I think most of them are very similar. They all have mayonnaise, paprika, horseradish, lemon, and some have mustard in them.

What’s missing is some umami. So I add a drop or two of soy sauce to address this. Soy sauce adds a rich flavor to the sauce.

HOW LONG DOES THIS SAUCE LAST IN MY REFRIGERATOR?

This homemade dipping sauce will keep in the refrigerator for about a week. As a result, you can prepare this sauce a day or two ahead of time.

I actually think the sauce tastes better a few hours after you make it because the flavors marry and meld.

RECIPE TIPS

• Do you want your dip to be extra spicy? Add more horseradish or cayenne pepper to taste. If you have sensitive taste buds, add a little extra mayonnaise to cool things down.

• Don’t forget to set it aside for at least 30 minutes. Actually, the longer it sits, the better it tastes. The flavors get a chance to mingle for the ultimate flavor explosion.
