1 cup salad dressing, like Miracle Whip
1/4 cup finely minced pickles
1/3 cup French salad dressing
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup very finely minced onion

The recipe took me back to the early days of McDonald's Big Mac sandwich when it was actually "big", LOL! I recreated the sandwich in it's proper order and it was a huge hit. Will definitely repeat this.
