💡 Tips

• Use a rubber spatula to scrape every last bit from the bowl. This stuff is too good to waste.
• For the best flavor, let it chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving, even though it tastes great right away.
• Use full-fat mayo for the best creamy texture and flavor.
• Let it sit for at least 15 minutes before serving so the flavors blend well.
• If the sauce thickens too much in the fridge, a tiny splash of vinegar or water will loosen it up.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• Heat: Stir in a pinch of cayenne for a little heat.

• Relish: Swap sweet relish for dill if you prefer a more tangy finish.

• Pickles: Add chopped pickles for extra crunch.

• Citrus: A tiny squirt of lemon juice can brighten it up even more.

• Mustard: Use Dijon instead of yellow mustard for a slightly sharper flavor.

• Pickle juice: Add a splash of pickle juice if you want it a little thinner for drizzling.

Can I Use Regular Ketchup and Relish?

Of course, but it won’t be sugar free. If that matters to you, stick with sugar-free options.

How Do I Make it Smoother?

Use a food processor or mini blender if you want a super smooth consistency with no visible bits.

What if I Don’t Like Mayo?

This sauce is mayo-based, so that’s a tough one. You can try plain Greek yogurt, but it will change the flavor.

Is it Spicy?

Nope, it’s tangy and sweet. If you want heat, add a pinch of cayenne or a few dashes of hot sauce.
