This tangy Alabama White BBQ Sauce Recipe is going to change everything you thought about traditional grilling! With mayo base, vinegar, and spices this is a southern favorite that is finger-licking good!
A good sauce can make a meal, wouldn't you agree? When you slather it on grilled chicken, steak or pork - mmmm.... delicious! Or just have some nearby for dunking like this pollo tropical cilantro garlic sauce - YUM!
BUT I have a new love!
Oh my goodness, have you ever tried Alabama White BBQ Sauce? I had never tried it until this round of Freaky Friday Blog Hop!
This time I got to peruse my buddy Jennifer's blog at Take Two Tapas. Have you visited her blog yet? There she specializes in small bites and cocktails. Fun finger food with loads of flavor.
It's always so much fun going through the blog and deciding which recipe to share with you and so hard to do!
I really enjoyed her recipe for Tzatziki Sauce - it's so creamy and good! And then the blooming onion dipping sauce is ridiculously good but I kept coming back to the recipe for White BBQ Sauce!
This is the recipe I've made again and again!
Goes without saying it's great on BBQ, right? Chicken, pork, shrimp - YUM!!! BUT it's equally good on fries or as a salad dressing! I especially love it on chicken tortilla salad.
Let me tell you, this recipe is brilliant and Jennifer gets all the credit! It's tangy, sweet and creamy and perfect accompaniment to your next meal!
