"SouthwestSauce" news and stories

Mayonnaise might be a perfect condiment on its own -- consistently creamy and delicious -- but it has the potential for so much more. Above, Chef Jason Hill of CookingSessions.com pulses up a super-simple Southwest Sauce. A good spicy mayo dressing can really save dry chicken or steak, bland sandwiches and even raw veggies.

This sauce starts with a base of mayo and sour cream and gets a kick from garlic, serrano peppers, cilantro, onion and dried spices. Other than portioning out the ingredients, the only work the food processor doesn't do is chop the cilantro, but we bet you could get away with just picking the leaves off the stem and throwing them in. Once it's combined, load the sauce into a squeeze bottle and add it on whenever Southwest Sauce is needed.
