Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Chop Those Herbs!
Finely chop the parsley, chives, and dill. Don’t overdo it; we want some texture.

Chop the pickles into tiny pieces. If using cornichons, slice them thinly first.
3. Caper Attention
Rinse the capers and pat dry. Chop them coarsely.
4. Mix It Up
In a bowl, combine mayo, yogurt, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
5. Add the Good Stuff
Fold in the herbs, pickles, and capers. Mix gently.
6. Adjust Consistency
If too thick, add a bit of water. If too thin, let it sit for 10 minutes.
7. Taste & Tweak
Adjust seasoning as needed. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.
