Ingredients

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup cottage cheese blended, I like to use Dairyland 4%
  • 2 Tbsp ketchup substitute with sugar free ketchup if desired
  • 1 Tbsp finely diced dill pickles substitute with dill pickle relish
  • 2-3 tsp pickle juice
  • 2 tsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp white sugar use Lakanto or Swerve if desired
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp dill dried
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
  • If you prefer a creamier sauce with a velvety texture, blend everything with an immersion blender. This minces the pickles more finely.
  • Refrigerate for at least an hour so the flavors can fully develop.

Notes

  • Blend for a smooth texture – if you want a sauce that’s silky and thick, blending the cottage cheese is a must.
  • Let it sit – this homemade sauce gets better over time! Let it chill in the fridge for at least an hour before using.
  • Store it properly – keep any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
  • Experiment with flavors – try adding a little garlic powder or apple cider vinegar.
