This Old Bay Mayonnaise recipe combines zesty seasoning, pickle, and garlic into a bold, creamy spread you’ll love.

Scale

Combine all ingredients.
In a small mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, finely chopped dill pickle, grated garlic, lemon juice, and Old Bay Seasoning.
Mix until well blended.
Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined and the color is consistent throughout.
Taste and adjust.
Taste the mayo and adjust seasoning if desired. Add more lemon juice for acidity or more Old Bay for stronger spice.
Let it rest (recommended).
For best flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the garlic to mellow.
Serve or store.
Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Use high-quality mayonnaise for best flavor (Duke’s or Hellmann’s work well).

If your pickles are extra juicy, blot them with a paper towel before chopping to avoid thinning the mayo.

For a smoother texture, you can pulse all ingredients in a mini food processor.

Optional add-ins: a pinch of smoked paprika, chopped fresh parsley, or a drop of hot sauce.
