Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (Hellmann's or Best Foods recommended)
  • 1/4 cup ketchup (Heinz recommended)

  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic

  2. Taste & Adjust: Give it a taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Add more ketchup for sweetness, Worcestershire sauce for tang, or salt and pepper for depth.
