Scale
Main Sauce Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) french dressing
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) white vinegar
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) finely chopped dill pickles
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Seasoning:
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a compact mixing vessel, whisk together mayonnaise, French dressing, yellow mustard, white vinegar, and granulated sugar until smoothly integrated.
- Incorporate finely diced dill pickles (or pickle relish), along with garlic and onion powder, creating a harmonious blend of tangy and savory notes.
- Season the mixture with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, adjusting to personal taste preferences and ensuring balanced flavor profile.
- Transfer the sauce to a sealed container, allowing it to rest in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes at 40°F, which enables the ingredients to meld and intensify their collective taste.
- After chilling, the sauce is primed for culinary exploration – perfect for slathering on burgers, drizzling over crispy fries, or using as a zesty condiment for sandwiches and wraps.
Notes
- Customize the sauce’s tanginess by adjusting the vinegar and sugar quantities to match your preferred flavor profile.
- Swap mayo with Greek yogurt or vegan mayo for a healthier or plant-based alternative that maintains the creamy texture.
- Finely chopping fresh dill pickles instead of using relish can elevate the sauce’s texture and provide a more vibrant, homemade taste.
- Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, allowing the flavors to continue melding and intensifying over time.
