  • If you don’t have Dijon mustard, use yellow mustard.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic powder and black pepper to your liking.
  • For a tangier dressing, add an extra tablespoon of lemon juice.
  • For a smokier flavor, use smoked bacon or smoked paprika.

Variations:

  • To make a vegan version, substitute the mayonnaise with a plant-based alternative such as avocado or cashew mayonnaise.
  • For a lower-carb option, use a sugar-free Worcestershire sauce.
  • To add a touch of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • For a herbaceous twist, incorporate some chopped fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or basil.
