Servings: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 2 Tablespoon sweet pickle relish or finely chopped pickle
- 1 hard-boiled egg minced or pressed through a sieve
- 1 Tablespoon minced onion
- 2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle relish, egg, onion, parsley and lemon juice and seasonings in a mixing bowl and blend well. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Add more chopped pickle and lemon juice as desired.
- You can serve the dressing immediately, but it tastes even better if refrigerated in a covered container for several hours. It will keep for about 5-7 days in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled. It is so much zingier and will give your dressing so much more flavor.
- Check that your smoked paprika isn't stale if you've had it in the cupboard for a while. Rub a little between your fingers, if it doesn't release an aroma, it's time to buy some more.
- I used full fat mayo for this recipe which is richer in flavor. You can use a low or non-fat variety if you prefer.
