Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped pickles (or relish, your call)
  • 1 tbsp chopped capers (optional, but fancy)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon or yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp finely chopped shallot or red onion
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A pinch of sugar (optional, if you’re feeling balanced)

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, and mustard. Stir until smooth and confident.
  • Add chopped pickles, capers (if using), and shallot. Mix until evenly distributed. Don’t overmix—let some texture shine.
  • Fold in parsley. Give it a few quick stirs, then season with salt, pepper, and a touch of sugar if you like a touch of sweetness.
  • Cover and chill for at least 15 minutes. This lets flavors mingle like they’re at a high school dance.
  • Give it a final stir, taste, and adjust. More lemon if you want brighter, more salt if you’re feeling shy.
