Begin by gathering all your ingredients. You’ll need mayonnaise, pickled relish, ketchup, and hot sauce. Having everything ready makes the process easier.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, pickled relish, and ketchup. Use a fork or a whisk to mix the ingredients until they are well blended and smooth. You want to ensure there are no lumps of mayonnaise.
Next, season the mixture with hot sauce to taste. I recommend starting with one teaspoon and adjusting based on your spice preference. Mix again until everything is well incorporated.
If you’re using parsley for garnish, now’s the time to mix it in. This adds a lovely color and a fresh flavor that brightens up the sauce.
Once everything is well mixed, taste your Salsa Rosada and adjust any seasonings as necessary. If you want it sweeter, add more ketchup. For more heat, a dash more of hot sauce works wonders.
Serve immediately for the best flavor, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator if you're preparing ahead of time. It tastes even better after the flavors meld together for a few hours!
