Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise Acts as the creamy base; Greek yogurt is a good substitute for a healthier twist.
  • 2 tablespoons French dressing Adds sweetness and tang; can substitute with light Italian dressing.
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish Brings a sweet crunch; finely chopped dill pickles can be used instead.
  • 1 teaspoon sugar Balances tanginess; honey is a great natural sweetener alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar Imparts acidity; apple cider vinegar can be used for a fruitier note.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder Offers depth; can swap with fresh minced onion.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Provides essential garlicky kick; freshly minced garlic is also great.
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika Lends vibrant color and flavor; smoked paprika can add smokiness.
