Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise
¼ cup ketchup
¼ cup sweet pickle relish
2 tablespoons mustard
4 medium medium dill pickles finely minced
½ medium white onion finely minced
1.5 teaspoons white vinegar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise, ¼ cup of ketchup, ¼ cup of sweet pickle relish, 2 tablespoons of mustard, minced dill pickles, minced onion, and 1.5 teaspoons of white vinegar. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Add a dash of kosher salt (ip to ¼ teaspoon), tasting as you go, until it reaches your preferred level of seasoning.
For best flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dressing to a jar with a tight-sealing lid. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or, if possible, longer to allow the flavors to meld together.
Once chilled, give it a good stir and your dressing is ready to be used. It's perfect for burgers, sandwiches, salads, and more.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container use within 5-7 days. Do not freeze.

Notes

Let it sit. Letting the dressing refrigerate for a few hours or overnight allows the flavors to meld together and intensify.
Finely mince the pickle and onion. Ensure that your pickles and onions are minced very fine. This will give the sauce a smooth consistency, making it easier to spread on burgers or mix into salads.
Taste and adjust. Feel free to tweak the recipe to suit your palate. Some people prefer a tangier taste and might add more vinegar, while others might want a sweeter profile and could add a bit more relish or a touch of sugar.
Use quality ingredients. The flavor of the dressing can vary significantly depending on the quality of the ingredients you use. High-quality mayonnaise, for instance, can make a difference.
