TV Dinner: Alabama Barbecue Sauce & Pea Salad

WATERTOWN, New York (WWNY) - We have a pair of recipes perfect for that summer cookout.

Chef Chris Manning prepares an Alabama White Barbecue Sauce, which he says is a finishing sauce. It’s mayonnaise based, so it adds fat to the meat to prevent it from drying out.

He pairs it with an Old-Fashioned Pea Salad, something his grandfather would often make.

Combine all ingredients and mix until smooth.
