- 1 cup of Mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon Lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon Dill Pickle juice
- ½ teaspoon Capers (chopped)
- ½ teaspoon Lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon Onion (minced)
- 2 teaspoons Dill Pickle relish

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill pickle juice, chopped capers, lemon zest, minced onion, and dill pickle relish until well blended.
- Season with Salt: Add salt gradually to taste, stirring thoroughly to incorporate the seasoning evenly throughout the sauce.
- Chill and Blend Flavors: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 60 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to cool for best taste.
Notes
- Adjust the salt carefully as the capers and pickle relish add saltiness already.
- For a chunkier texture, add extra dill pickle relish.
- Store the sauce in an airtight container and consume within a week for freshness.
- This sauce pairs wonderfully with fried fish, crab cakes, or as a dip for fries.
