Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tbsp finely minced white onion
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and stir until fully combined, about 1 minute.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, then taste and adjust salt or sugar as needed.
  3. Spoon into a serving bowl and add a small squeeze of fresh lemon juice on top before serving.

Notes

If you're making this for a group, a double batch keeps well for the whole week. The onion flavor mellows considerably after the first day, so if you find it a bit sharp right after mixing, give it more time in the fridge rather than changing the recipe. Drain your relish before adding it if you want the sauce to stay thick after a few days of storage.
