Lulus Wow Sauce Recipe is a quick homemade sauce that adds bold flavor to almost anything. It takes about five minutes to mix and uses simple pantry staples. It works great for lunch with any vegetables you have on hand, or as a spread on sandwiches and burgers.

This sauce is creamy with a little heat and a little tang. It spreads easily on sandwiches and burgers. It also works as a dip for fries, grilled chicken, or fresh veggies. You can drizzle over roasted vegetables. It is a healthier option than many store-bought sauces because you control the salt.

We like this recipe because it is fast and easy to adjust. If we want more heat, we add a bit more jalapeno. If we want it milder, we stir in a little extra mayo to tone it down. Whisking it will keep it smooth and lump-free.
Lulus Wow Sauce Tips and Substitutions
Use a good quality mayonnaise for the best texture. Stir well so the seasoning blends evenly. Let the sauce rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes so the flavors blend together. For less heat, remove the seeds from the jalapeno before chopping. For more kick, add a splash of hot sauce. Greek yogurt can replace part of the mayo for a lighter version. Stone ground mustard can replace Dijon for a stronger mustard flavor.

I had Lulus Wow Sauce Recipe with fried green tomatoes on a recent trip to Destin, Florida. This is Lulu Buffett’s, as in Jimmy Buffett’s sister, new restaurant. It looked fun and kid-friendly. It didn’t disappoint.
Lulus serves the Wow Sauce with fried green tomatoes at the restaurant. I made a Baked Fried Green Tomatoes recipe that is healthier than fried and just as good. You may also like Baked Bread Cauliflower with this sauce.
Another good sauce on everything is In-N-Out Sauce.

Lulus Wow Sauce Recipe
Southerners love a mayonnaise-based sauce for good reason. Mayo ensures the spread will be creamy and flavorful. Lulus Wow Sauce Recipe is zesty, with horseradish, jalapenos, and Creole seasoning. In fact, I was skeptical that the trio would make the sauce too spicy. I was pleased that it was perfect. If you typically don’t like spicy foods, you may want to decrease the amount of horseradish and or jalapenos in this recipe.

I bake a lot of vegetables instead of frying and still maintain that crispy outside that is so desirable.
