Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to heat tolerance)1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • A pinch of sugar (optional, to balance tang)

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, and pickle relish until smooth. Yes, this part should look suspiciously like a galaxy of pink.
  • Stir in Dijon mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne. The mixture should take on a punchy, rosy hue with a zippy aroma.
  • Add lemon juice, salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar if you want a touch of sweetness. Taste as you go—you’re the boss here.
  • Whisk until everything is well blended and glossy. If it looks chunky, keep whisking; if you’re out of patience, give it a quick shake in a jar with a tight lid.
  • Let the sauce rest for at least 10 minutes in the fridge. This gives the flavors time to mingle like gossip at a family reunion.
