Using mayonnaise and ketchup as the base, finely chopped vegetables are added to give it a crisp, crunchy bite. The trick is to lightly salt the onion to take out the sharpness, then squeeze out the moisture before adding it. It comes together simply in under 20 minutes and pairs wonderfully with deep-fried dishes or green salads.
