Tips
- Use high-quality mayonnaise for the best flavor and creamiest texture.
- For extra tang, try using a mix of regular and apple cider vinegar.
- Chill the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.
- Adjust the consistency by adding a splash of milk if you prefer a thinner dressing.
- For a healthier version, substitute Greek yogurt for half the mayonnaise.
- Finely chop the pickle relish for a more uniform texture.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 7 days for maximum freshness.
- Experiment with adding a dash of hot sauce or smoked paprika for a unique twist.
