Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish, drained
  • 1 tablespoon drained capers, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Finely chop the capers and any large pieces of pickle relish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
  3. Fold in the chopped pickles and capers, then season with salt and pepper. Spoon into a serving bowl, top with dill if using, and serve.

Notes

Makes about 1 cup. For the deepest flavor, let the sauce rest in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving. If it separates slightly after storing, a quick stir brings it right back together.
