In a medium bowl, make dressing by whisking together relish, mustard and mayonnaise.

Cover and refrigerate at least an hour to allow flavors to meld. Serve on crackers, sandwiches, etc.

Stacey’s Recipe Note

For more flavor, toast pecans on a rimmed baking sheet at 350 F about 5 minutes or until they’ve darkened in color and are fragrant. Allow to cool completely before adding to the salad.
