    This spicy mayo-based dip is made with homemade Cajun seasonings that are likely already in your pantry!

    Ingredients & Substitutions

    • Mayo - Store-bought mayo works perfectly, however, you can use my homemade mayonnaise recipe as well. Sour cream can be added to turn this into a Cajun dipping sauce.
    • Hot Sauce - I recommend a vinegar-based cayenne pepper hot sauce like Crystal or Tabasco. Lemon juice can also be added for acidity.
    • Paprika - Smoked paprika, in particular, adds another layer of flavor, but regular can be used as well.
    • Garlic powder
    • Onion powder
    • Dried Oregano
    • Ground black pepper - Use ground white pepper if you don't want to see the pepper flecks in the mayo.
    • Cayenne pepper
    • Celery powder

    How to make it

    This recipe is easily made by mixing all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. You can use it immediately, but the flavor will continue improving as it sits in the refrigerator. Store it in an airtight container so it does not soak up off-flavors from the fridge.
