Recipe Ingredient Substitution Ideas
Mayonnaise = plain yogurt, sour cream, creme fraiche, or some combination of the 3 or 4 ingredients, mashed avocado
Sweet Pickles = dill pickles, relish, celery, carrots, kohlrabi, cucumber - something fresh and crunchy
Pickle juice = apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, sherry vinegar - dash of white wine if serving to adults only!
Prepared Dijon mustard = yellow mustard, dried mustard mixed with a little water to make a paste, curry powder
Paprika = chili powder, Old Bay seasoning, Lawry's Seasoned Salt, herbs de Provence, your favorite savory spice
