Measure 1/2 cup mayonnaise into a medium bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish and 1 tablespoon ketchup.
Stir in 1 tablespoon yellow mustard for tang.
Add 1 tablespoon white wine or distilled vinegar to brighten the flavor.
Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon onion powder and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
Add 1 teaspoon paprika and 1 teaspoon sugar to balance sweetness.
Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
Optional: mix in 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce for added depth.
Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and uniformly colored.
Taste and adjust: more relish for texture, more sugar for sweetness, or extra vinegar for acidity.
Cover and refrigerate at least 10 minutes to let flavors meld. Stir again before serving.
