- 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 1 tablespoon carrot, finely grated or minced
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions
- Dice or grate the onion and carrot finely. If relish is chunky, mince it for smoother consistency.

- Mix thoroughly until well combined and creamy.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld. Overnight is best.
