For the best flavor, let the sauce sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the spices to meld.

Always use a high-quality mayonnaise as your base to ensure the necessary richness. Let the sauce chill in the refrigerator for an hour before use to allow the flavors to meld and provide a refreshing contrast to hot patties.
