How Does it Taste?

It’s rich, sweet, and tangy. It has elements of Thousand Island dressing with a twist. Vinegar and pickle relish help add acidity which balances out the savory and sweet flavors perfectly. You can easily customize this to suit your taste, whether you like a sweeter flavor sauce, or more ketchup flavor, it’s easy to adjust to what you’re looking for.

How to Substitute Mayo

If you aren’t a fan of mayo, you can use equal parts of sour cream on plain Greek yogurt.

How to Store It/How Long it Will Last

Transfer the sauce to an airtight container, such as a jar or a small plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. Make sure the container is clean and dry before adding the sauce. It’s best when used within 1 week of refrigerating.
