Steps Involved In Making the Process

• Before you start mixing, measure out all your ingredients.

• Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of onion powder. These spices add depth and a savory flavor.
• Add 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. All the other flavors are enhanced by these staple seasonings.
• Lastly, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. This brightens the sauce and gives the lemon juice a refreshing tanginess.
• In the bowl, combine all the ingredients with a whisk. Whisk until well combined and smooth. Ensure that everything is dispersed evenly and that there are no lumps.
