Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise

- 2 Tablespoon sweet pickle relish or finely chopped pickle
- 1 egg minced or pressed through a sieve, hard-boiled
- 1 Tablespoon onion minced

- 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 for brighter, more vibrant flavor.
- Check smoked paprika freshness by crushing a small amount to ensure it releases aroma; stale paprika should be replaced.
- Full-fat mayonnaise lends a richer taste, but you can substitute with low-fat or non-fat varieties if preferred.
