Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients, especially pickles and mustards, for the best flavor impact.
  • Resting the sauce in the refrigerator lets the flavors marry and create a more harmonious taste.
  • Adjust spice levels gradually to suit your palate.
  • For a chunkier sauce, add more pickle relish; for a smoother sauce, blend the mixture if preferred.
  • This sauce keeps well refrigerated for up to 5 days and is great on fries, sandwiches, and salads.
  • Freezing is possible up to 1 month but may affect texture; thaw slowly and stir well before use.
  • No reheating is necessary; serve cold or at room temperature.
