Step-by-Step Instructions for Southern Comeback Sauce

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add mayonnaise, ketchup, honey, hot sauce, Cajun seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until smooth and well-combined.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning to your liking, adding more honey or hot sauce as needed. Stir until fully incorporated.
Transfer the sauce to an airtight container or a serving bowl, cover tightly, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Once chilled, stir the sauce to ensure smoothness. Serve with crispy air fryer chicken tenders, fresh vegetables, or burgers.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
