A cheat sauce is a chef term for a sauce made from mixing something into mayonnaise. These are your best friend in a pinch, and no one will know that you pulled it off in 17.8 seconds. I like these sauces with just about anything fried, but they really hit their high when dipped with these Okra Hot Fries or Fried Pickled Okra
