Ingredients
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup plain yogurt
 
Some Variations:
  • Lime juice: Adds a fresh, acidic zest.
  • Spices: Cumin and cayenne are often included to provide earthy flavor and a touch of heat.
  • Herbs: Some versions include chopped fresh dill, and others incorporate cilantro. (A former Rubio's assistant manager on Reddit claimed their sauce did not contain cilantro.)
  • Other seasonings: Salt and pepper are used to taste.
  • 💡I found one note where it said they added water sometimes to adjust the texture.

    • Here is one of those variations, which borders on being a tartar sauce with the pickles:
    1/2 cup yogurt, plain
    1/2 cup mayonnaise
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne
    1/2 teaspoon cumin
    1/2 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped or 1 teaspoon dill pickle juice
    juice of 1 lime
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon pepper
    Directions
    Mix ingredients together in a bowl.

    💬 Uncle Dave says...
    Supposedly the original recipe is just the mayo and yogurt.
    Sounds rather bland to me.
    I would definitely spice it up a bit.
