Southern Comeback Sauce
Spicy Southern Comeback Sauce, a dip you’ll make again and again.
Comeback Sauce… The quintessential southern dipping sauce served with everything from fried oysters to raw veggies.
It’s a poor man’s remoulade, made with mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, and a couple other well-selected ingredients.
MY OTHER RECIPESIf you are a southerner, have ever lived in the south, or wish you lived in the south, you should know how to make classic Southern Comeback Sauce.
To make Southern Comeback Sauce start with mayonnaise and add just enough ketchup to taint it orange.
Then add a little honey, a little Worcestershire sauce, a little cajun seasoning, and hot sauce. The hot sauce you select is extremely personal…
Really, you can use any kind of hot sauce you like.
Sriracha, Frank’s RedHot, and Cholula are three I always have on hand. Or you can go with something a tad more simple like Tabasco.
So what else can you use Southern Comeback Sauce on? Well… Everything!
- Burgers and sandwiches
- Fries of any variety
- Chips
- Fish
- Shrimp
- Hushpuppies
- Buffalo wings
- Over roasted vegetables
- Stirred into soup for thickness
- On all fried foods!
Southern Comeback Sauce is perky, creamy, and great for dunking. It’s a fabulous complement to just about anything!

Hi Susan,
In the post I mentioned personalizing the Comeback Sauce with your favorite type of hot sauce. Really, you can use any kind of hot sauce you like! Sriracha, Frank’s RedHot, and Cholula are three I always have on hand. Or you can go with something a tad more simple like Tabasco. Happy Cooking!
I am allergic to honey, is there something that can be used as a substitute?
Hi Sydelle!
Try agave, stevia, or plain sugar. :)
