Southern Comeback Sauce Recipe (Perfect for Fries, Chicken, and Seafood)

Comeback Sauce is a creamy Southern dipping sauce made with mayonnaise, chili sauce, lemon juice, and a few pantry spices. It mixes together in minutes but tastes even better after it chills for a bit. Tangy, savory, and just a little smoky, it’s the kind of sauce that ends up on everything from fries and fried okra to burgers and shrimp.
