Method

  1. 1

    Chop. Chop the onion and pickles as finely as you can so they spread evenly.

  2. 2

    Whisk. Whisk the mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, onion, vinegar, paprika and pepper until smooth and evenly pink.

  3. 3

    Taste. Add a few more drops of vinegar if you like it sharper.

  4. 4

    Serve. Spoon over iceberg lettuce wedges, or use in burgers and sandwiches.

Storage

Keep covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. Cool leftovers in a shallow container and refrigerate within 2 hours (within 1 hour on a day above 32°C).

EU nutrition claims

  • Low sugars: 4.9 g sugars per 100 g (limit ≤ 5 g)

Per 100 g of the finished dish, worked out from the nutrition per serving and the lowest likely cooked weight (about 33 g a serving), so the true values are, if anything, lower. Thresholds from the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide
