Alabama White Barbecue Sauce Recipe "The Healthy Low Carb Option"

Even if you're not a mayonnaise fan I challenge you not to like this Alabama white barbecue sauce recipe. I served this up for one of my friend who didn't like mayo, she tentatively took the tip of a teaspoon, tasted it for about 5 seconds and then demanded the recipe!

This traditional Alabama barbecue sauce is a fantastic healthy low carb tangy alternative using Mayonnaise as its base rather than tomato. It works well on white meat but my favorite is to slap it on a burger.

To get the most out of the flavor combination it really needs to rest for a good 12 hours before using so it is better to prepare it the day before and refrigerate. I have to say though that I usually forget and end up making it a couple of hours before with pretty good results.

TIP - Mayonnaise is an emulsion and doesn’t hold together well when heated so I prefer to use this sauce just like mayo (although it's not as fluffy). I add it after the meat is cooked, a bit like you would a dressing, rather than during the grilling or smoking.

That’s not to say you can’t brush it onto the grill but you’ll have to be careful not to overheat it otherwise it’ll separate.

Also note the ingredients in this Alabama white barbecue sauce recipe; no added sugar so it's low carb. So couple this with a low calorie "light" mayo and you've got quite a healthy barbecue sauce to boot.

The essential mix is a ratio of 4 parts mayo to one part vinegar and one part lemon juice and I've done quite a large quantity here. If you want to make less then simply convert these ingredient measures to tablespoons and dumb down the seasoning accordingly. (I've seen many recipes that suggest equal parts vinegar and mayo - don't go there, it's awful).
