Secret Special Sauce- Gluten Free

Back in my gluten filled days before my diagnosis I loved a certain 2 patty cheeseburger, sesame seed bun, with lettuce and secret sauce from a chain fast food restaurant. Obviously, that isn't an option anymore.......so sometimes I whip up my own sauce.

Secret Special Burger Sauce

1/2 C Mayo
2 T French Dressing
4 t Sweet pickle relish
1 T finely minced white onion
1 t white vinegar
1 t sugar

Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate for several hours. The longer it sits the more the flavors become friends and become amazing.
