1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
pinch salt
cracked black pepper
Instructions

Notes
Use a wide-mouth glass jar for easy mixing, storing, and serving.
Warming thick honey slightly helps it blend more easily.
For a lighter version, you can substitute part of the mayo with Greek yogurt, but it will change the flavor.
