Instructions

Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, ketchup, mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar (if using), paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until the mixture is smooth and the ingredients are well incorporated.
Chill and Serve: Transfer the sauce to a container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and develop a richer taste.
Enjoy: Stir the sauce before serving and enjoy it on burgers, fries, sandwiches, or as a delicious dip for vegetables.

Notes

You can adjust the sugar according to your taste or omit it for a less sweet sauce.
For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
The sauce thickens slightly when chilled but can be thinned with a teaspoon of milk or water if desired.
