Helpful Tips:

  • You can use dill relish instead of sweet, but you’ll miss an aspect to the flavor without that touch of sweetness. You can add a small amount of sugar to the mixture to make up for it. I would start with ¼ teaspoon and go from there. White granulated sugar is best.
  • This sauce tastes its best when it has chilled in the fridge for 24 hours. All the flavors get to really mix together, but it’s still great when used right after making.
  • I do not suggest freezing this recipe as it changes the texture of the sauce once thawed.
  • I do not suggest using miracle whip in place of the real mayo as it changes the flavor of the sauce quite a bit.
  • Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
