Key Ingredients & Smart Substitutions

Mayonnaise – The creamy base of the sauce. For a lighter version, swap it with plain Greek yogurt or make your own homemade mayonnaise.
Ketchup – Adds a subtle sweetness. Prefer a tangier sauce? Simply leave it out.
Honey – Balances the mustard’s tang. Maple syrup works as a substitute but will slightly change the flavor.
Dijon Mustard – Brings tanginess and mild heat. Yellow mustard can be used instead.
Worcestershire Sauce – Enhances the depth of flavor. No Worcestershire? Use soy sauce or omit it entirely.
Garlic Powder – For a bolder garlic taste, use 1-2 minced garlic cloves instead.
Red Pepper Flakes – Optional, but great for heat lovers! Adjust the amount to control the spice level.
