"In the South, egg salad and deviled eggs get a major flavor upgrade with the help of Durkee sauce. A staple for over 150 years, the brand is marketed as a sandwich and salad condiment with "a tangy, mustard-mayonnaise flavor." Considering it consists of eggs, vinegar, sugar, salt, oil, and mustard, that description is spot on. Since mustard and mayonnaise are integral ingredients in both egg salad and deviled eggs, Durkee sauce simply enhances the tanginess and spiciness of the mustard in both dishes."
"Egg salad and deviled eggs are only the tip of the iceberg for Durkee sauce as its creamy, spicy, sweet, and tangy flavor profile will instantly upgrade many different dishes. The most obvious applications for it are in potato salad or chicken salad recipes. Use Durkees for a portion of the mayonnaise in a tuna salad recipe or in this recipe for macaroni salad. But this southern staple would also be a great condiment in any kind of sandwich, from turkey to ham or even a grilled cheese."
Durkee sauce combines eggs, vinegar, sugar, salt, oil, and mustard to produce a tangy mustard-mayonnaise flavor that complements rich egg yolks. Southern cooks use Durkee in egg salad and deviled eggs to boost tanginess and spiciness, often replacing a few tablespoons of mayonnaise with Durkees. Sweet pickle relish and a dash of hot sauce or Creole seasoning are common additions to balance richness. Duke's mayonnaise is recommended as a complementary Southern staple. Durkee also works in potato, chicken, tuna, and macaroni salads and serves as a versatile sandwich condiment for turkey, ham, or grilled cheese.
