This classic dressing blends mayonnaise, ketchup, and sweet pickle relish into a creamy, tangy condiment flecked with pink and studded with relish. It comes together in one bowl with no cooking required, and tastes brighter than most bottled versions. Use it on salads, burgers, or as a dip for crudités.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 3 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon finely minced white onion
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 hard-boiled egg, finely chopped (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Method
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, vinegar, minced onion, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar until smooth and evenly combined.
-
Fold in the chopped hard-boiled egg, if using, along with the salt, pepper, and paprika.
-
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
-
Stir well before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
