Instructions
Prepare ingredients by finely dicing the pickles and raw onion. Weigh all ingredients using a kitchen scale for consistent results.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, and yellow mustard. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniform in color.
Add the sugar and all the powdered spices: garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and paprika. Whisk thoroughly to dissolve the sugar and distribute spices evenly.
Fold in the diced pickles and diced onion using a spatula. Mix gently to distribute the chunks evenly throughout the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. For more tang, add a splash of pickle juice. For sweetness, add a pinch more sugar. For savory depth, add more garlic or onion powder.
Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using to allow the onion and pickle flavors to infuse the sauce. The texture and flavor will improve over time. Store refrigerated for 3-5 days.
