Classic sauce for seafood or salad dressing. This recipe is from my grandmother from when she lived at the Hotel del Coronado during WWII.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup catsup
- 1/2 pint buttermilk (Fresh, not frozen, makes it too thin) or sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 2 lemons — Juiced
- salt and pepper
- orange juice
Directions:
- Mix mayo and catsup.
- Add buttermilk/sour cream, Worcestershire Sauce, lemon and orange juice.
- Mix well.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Thin with orange juice if needed.
Note: VAK (Mom) uses Miracle Whip, buttermilk and the juice of one lemon and one orange. That is how I make it also.
Serves: Make 1 quart.

Comments: Use as dip for cooked shrimp (30-32 size) with tails removed. Also really good on avocado and shrimp/scallops/lobster as an appetizer or salad.
