Cook’s Notes:

Give It A Stir: If making this in advance, be sure to give it a good stir before serving.
Make Ahead: I typically use this condiment on burgers and love making it ahead of time. It stores very well in the fridge.
Chop The Pickles: I personally prefer to use pickles, you could also use relish instead.

Substitutions and Variations:

Spice It Up: Instead of plain mayonnaise, try using Chipotle Lime Mayonnaise. You could also use regular mayonnaise and add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper for some kick.
Add Sweetness: If you like your things on the sweeter side, try adding a bit of honey.
Thick And Creamy: If you want to add a bit more heft, you can also stir in a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
Vegan: For a vegan version, substitute regular mayonnaise with your favourite plant-based mayo.

Storage and Reheating:

Storage: Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
Reheating: There is no need to reheat, you can take it straight from the fridge and add it to your juicy burger.
