Comeback Sauce

Recipe Introduction
"First stirred up in a Greek restaurant in Jackson in the 1930s, this sauce kept folks 'coming back' from all over Mississippi and beyond. It falls somewhere between a classic white Creole rémoulade and McDonald's secret sauce. This version, created by Alabama-born chef Adam Evans to pair with his Salt-Baked Shrimp, gets base and body from celery, which gives it a cool crispness that also pairs perfectly with fried foods."
