Equipment

  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk or Spoon
  • Chef's Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Airtight Container

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup MAYONNAISE
  • 1/4 cup DILL PICKLES
  • 1 tbsp CAPERS
  • 1 tbsp LEMON JUICE
  • 1 tbsp FRESH DILL
  • 1 tsp DIJON MUSTARD
  • 1/2 tsp SUGAR
  • 1/4 tsp BLACK PEPPER

Instructions
 

Step 1:

  • Place your mayonnaise into the small mixing bowl. Use a spatula to get it all out. Make sure the bowl is clean and dry.

Step 2:

  • Chop your dill pickles into very small pieces. They should look like tiny green cubes. Add them directly into the mayo bowl.

Step 3:

  • Drain the liquid from your jar of capers. Mince them finely with your sharp chef's knife. Stir them into the creamy mixture now.

Step 4:

  • Squeeze fresh lemon juice into the mixing bowl. Watch out for any small lemon seeds. Stir the juice in until it is blended.

Step 5:

  • Finely chop your fresh dill on the board. Add the herbs to the sauce for color. Mix until the green bits are spread out.

Step 6:

  • Add the mustard, sugar, and pepper to finish. Stir the sauce one last time very well. Taste it to see if it needs more.

Notes

Use fresh lemon for the best citrus flavor.
Chill the sauce for one hour before you serve.
Chop the pickles very small for a smooth texture.
Use high-quality mayo for the best rich taste.
Add a splash of pickle juice for more tang.
