Ingredients

1/2 cup quality mayonnaise
2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
1 tablespoon finely minced onion
2 tablespoons natural ketchup
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

Step 1: Place all the ingredients—mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, minced onion, ketchup, yellow mustard, white vinegar, granulated sugar, paprika, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder—in a bowl.
Step 2: Stir everything together until well combined. You can use the sauce immediately, but for the best flavor, cover and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours before serving. Stir or shake well before using.

Tips & Variations

Use natural ketchup without added sugars for a fresher, less sweet taste.
Try adding a dash of smoked paprika or hot sauce for a smoky or spicy twist.
For a smoother texture, blend the sauce in a food processor before refrigerating.

Storage

Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Stir well before each use. This sauce is best enjoyed chilled but can also be served at room temperature.
