Prep Time5

Ingredients

3 tbs mayonnaise
2 tbs tomato ketchup
1 tbs pickle juice
2 tsp mustard
½ tsp garlic powder
1 tsp sugar

Optional extras

1 tbs onion or shallot - finely chopped
1 tbs pickles - finely chopped

Instructions

Put the smooth ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Check the flavour and adjust to taste.
Stir through any onion or chopped pickles if using, and check again.
Leave to stand in the fridge for 20 minutes, then bring up to room temperature to serve.

Notes

Mayonnaise – Use your regular mayonnaise. I know I swap in yogurt in place of mayo in lots of recipes - but don't do it here!
Tomato Ketchup/Sauce – You want a nice rich, thick ketchup that actually tastes of tomatoes.
Pickle Juice – Use the vinegar from a regular jar of gherkins or dill pickles. If you want a bit more heat. If you don't have jarred pickles to hand, use some white wine vinegar.
Mustard – Supermarket Dijon or any smooth American style mustard. Not English mustard!
Garlic Powder – Just a dash, or use a little onion powder.

Optional Extras

Finely diced onion or shallot
Finely diced pickles – Use them to add texture and crunch.
Sugar – depends on the sweetness of your tomato ketchup.

Store in a sealed container in the fridge (a jam jar is ideal) for up to 5 days. If you have added raw onion eat within 48 hours.
