Chef's tips
Chill the sauce in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving so the flavors blend together.
Storage
Refrigerate in a sealed container up to 1 week.
Reheating
Serve cold; no reheating needed.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Adding too much ketchup, which makes the sauce taste like plain ketchup instead of a balanced dip
- •Skipping the pickle brine, which leaves the sauce tasting flat and missing its tangy kick
