Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time0 minutes
Total Time5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Dijon or brown mustard
  • 1 tsp pickle relish or finely chopped pickles
  • 1 tsp hot sauce (adjust to your heat tolerance)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • optional a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth. No lumps, no drama.
  • Stir in ketchup, mustard, and pickle relish. The color should be tasty and not suspiciously beige.
  • Add hot sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Give it a vigorous whisk; you want the flavors to wake up.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon juice if you’re feeling zippy. Taste and adjust—we’re aiming for balanced tang, not a tang-tag.
  • Cover and chill for 15–30 minutes if you have the time. If you don’t, yeah, it still tastes good now—just a touch more chaotic.
