Delicious! I don't like bell peppers and I'm not usually big on lemon, but I made it exactly as written and I wouldn't change a thing! It's flavorful, has the perfect amount of crunch, and the lemon makes it bright and fresh. Thank you!!

This recipe could not be better. So good. I did use dill pickle relish and some of the juice instead of chopping a pickle, which I didn't have. I do have a question for you regarding the nutrition facts. Why does it say there is 4.1 mg of cholesterol?

I made this recipe and finished off a jar vegan mayo and started a second one. Didn’t know it but I had gotten wasabi vegan mayo and the second jar I used was that / it was a delicious spicy twist. My husband said we should always make it that way.
