Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions

SAUCE – I wouldn’t suggest skipping the pickle juice, as it brings a lot of flavor to the dip. However, if you have allergies, try horseradish sauce or apple cider vinegar in its place.

ADDITIONS – You can easily incorporate heat by adding a few dashes of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the mix. Feel free to add in a bit of Worcestershire sauce as well, but depending on the amount you add, you may need a bit more mayo to thicken it up.
