- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika, to taste

Instructions
- Blender or Food Processor Method:
- In the bowl of a food processor or blender, combine ½ cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, onion powder, paprika, lemon juice, honey or agave, and any optional herbs or spices.
- With the machine running, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons olive oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add more olive oil as needed to reach your desired consistency, scraping down the sides as necessary.
- Taste and adjust the salt, pepper, or sweetener. Add more mayonnaise or Greek yogurt if you prefer a thicker, creamier sauce.
- Blend again briefly to combine.
- Whisk-by-Hand Method:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all the ingredients except the olive oil.
- While whisking continuously, slowly pour in 2 tablespoons olive oil until smooth and emulsified. Add more olive oil as needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust the seasonings, sweetness, and consistency as needed.
Notes
Storage- Store in an airtight container or glass jar in the fridge for up to 7 days. Stir before using if it separates slightly.
Substitute tip – Use full-fat Greek yogurt (vs mayonnaise) for a lighter, tangier sauce with extra protein. Choose mayonnaise for a richer, smoother sauce with a more neutral flavor. Mayonnaise is also the better option if the sauce will be heated because it is less likely to separate.
