1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic (2 small cloves, chopped)
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin

2 tablespoons olive oil

1
In a blender or food processor, first pulse the tomato sauce and mayo together.
2
Add the vinegar and lime juice, and pulse again.
3
Add the garlic and pulse again, for a minute or two so the garlic gets liquefied into the mix.
4
Add all the dry spices and pulse again, for another minute or two to really let the flavors blend.
5
Leave the blender running and gradually pour in the olive oil as it mixes (don't just pour it in).
6
Bottle it and let it sit in the fridge for about an hour prior to serving for the flavors to really incorporate.
