Chef's Notes

This dressing is even more fabulous when you make it ahead of time, as the flavours truly blossom after mingling in the chill of the refrigerator.
It will keep beautifully in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
If you find your pantry is devoid of sweet pickle relish, don't fret! You can finely chop some dill pickles and add a pinch of sugar as a stand-in.
For a texture that's smooth as silk, you can whiz all the ingredients together in a blender.
This versatile dressing is absolutely divine on salads, burgers, sandwiches, and as a dipping sauce for chips or fresh vegetables.
You'll notice the teeny tiny bit of optional avocado oil. We've kept it in because, as the original note suggests, it adds a certain
je ne sais quoi—a lovely richness and mouthfeel that elevates the dressing from merely good to absolutely divine. It's a perfect example of using oil mindfully for a specific culinary advantage.
Assumptions:
Nutritional information is an estimate calculated using standard vegan mayonnaise and ketchup values. The actual figures can vary based on the specific brands you use.
The calculation includes the 1 teaspoon of optional avocado oil, distributed across all 12 servings.
"Salt and pepper to taste" are included in the sodium calculation using a conservative estimate.
