Ingredients

  • 1 cup real mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup chili sauce (i.e. Heinz or similar)
  • 3 Tbsp ketchup
  • 1/2-1 tsp prepared horseradish adjust to taste
  • 1/2 tsp lemon pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup finely minced sweet onion
  • 2-3 Tbsp sweet pickle relish adjust to taste
  • 1 large hard boiled egg mashed and finely minced
  • 1 large clove garlic mashed and finely minced
  • buttermilk or whole milk for thinning optional

Instructions

  • In a medium size bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, chili sauce, ketchup, horseradish, lemon pepper, paprika and Worcestershire sauce.
  • To the bowl add minced onion, pickle relish, egg and garlic, Mix to fully combine.
  • Place into a mason jar or an airtight container and chill thoroughly for 4 hours or overnight.
  • Enjoy on salads, as a sandwich spread or a vegetable dip. (Makes 2 cups or one pint)

Notes

  • This dressing is thicker by design. I usually wait until the end of the recipe to decide if I want to thin the consistency or not depending on the mayonnaise used. Should you like to thin the dressing, add milk or buttermilk in small amounts until it reaches the consistency you like.
