Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a small mixing bowl, and whisk together until the dressing's evenly combined.
    1 cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup ketchup, 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish, 1 tbsp dried onion flakes, 1 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice, ½ tsp paprika, ¼ tsp salt
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • While you may be tempted to enjoy the dressing right away, I highly recommend not to skip the chill time. This step allows to flavors to blend and build as well as for the onion flakes to properly soften.
  • Give the dressing a taste before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  • Full fat mayo is a must! The lower fat kind won't have the right texture.
