Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 3/4 cup dill pickles finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dill finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon parsley finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Measure out your mayonnaise and add it to a medium mixing bowl.
- Add your finely chopped dill pickles, fresh dill, and parsley to the mayo. The finer you chop these ingredients, the better they blend into the sauce.
- Sprinkle in the sugar and black pepper, then add the lemon juice.
- Mix everything together until well combined.

Notes
- This keeps for 1 week in the fridge.
- If you want to adjust the consistency, you can add a splash of pickle juice to thin it out. I sometimes do this when serving it with fish sticks - my kids prefer it a bit thinner for dipping!
- You can alter the recipe to suit your taste. Add some finely chopped onions or capers. Or use bread and butter pickles for a sweeter version.
- Turn this into a spicy remoulade sauce by adding ½ tablespoon of Cajun seasoning.
- This sauce actually gets better after it sits for a while. I often make it a few hours before serving to let the flavors meld together. Just keep it covered in the fridge.
