    Ingredients You’ll Need

    • Vegan Mayo: I use my own homemade cashew vegan mayonnaise. It’s oil-free, creamy, and absolutely delicious.
    • Relish: I like Wickles. Sweet pickle relish is my favorite but if you prefer less sweet regular dill relish is just as good. You could also just used finely chopped dill pickles.
    • Lemon Juice: fresh lemon juice is best. If you use bottled, be sure it is pure juice. Not the crap in the green plastic bottle.
    • Mustard: you can use yellow or Dijon mustard. Personally, I prefer yellow mustard in this recipe.
    • Salt and pepper: I usually omit both of these. But, taste and season as needed at the end.
    • Mix-ins: fresh dill and capers are a great way to spruce up this recipe.
