Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish or 1 tablespoon finely chopped dill pickle
• 1 tablespoon minced onion
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice (optional)
• salt and pepper

Recipe

• 1 1. in a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, and minced onion. stir in lemon juice. season to taste with salt and pepper. refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
• 2 my tip's: i've made it per instructed and at times i modifications. i prefer to use dehydrated "real-lemon" powder instead of lemon juice (it makes it less runny) and i double pickles (at least) but drain them on paper towel first, again so that it is not runny. i have also used horseradish instead of onion which gives it a different, but not unpleasant, taste. leaving it to marry in the fridge is advised as it really brings the flavors together.this makes a yummy sauce for boiled shrimp or seared scallops.
• 3 i strongly recommend preparing this in advance, letting it sit in the fridge overnight makes a big difference. thought it tasted too much like mayo at first, but the next day, it was perfect! plus, if you make too much, it's good for at least another 2 weeks or so, as long as you keep it refridgerated.
