Notes
Use your favorite brand of mayo--We use Hellmann's Vegan mayo in all of our dishes.
For extra kick, add 1/8 tsp cayenne or 1/4 tsp hot sauce. We do not usually add these because we like our sauce sweeter, but they do lend a good flavor.
Increase water to 3 tbsp if you prefer a thinner consistency.
