Start with a clean mixing bowl and add mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, and lemon juice. These ingredients create the creamy, tangy foundation of the dip. Fresh mayo makes a noticeable difference, so use the best you have.
Sprinkle in Cajun Two-Step seasoning, the heart of this dip’s bold character. Stir gently to ensure the spices blend evenly into the base.
Pour in your favorite spicy sauce and mix again. Want more kicks? Toss in extra sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper. Taste as you go to find your perfect heat level.
Use a whisk or spoon to stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. The dip should be lump-free and take on a rich orange-red hue.
Do a taste test and adjust with salt and pepper if needed. Everyone’s palate is different; make it yours.
Transfer the dip to an airtight container or cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
