In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and gluten-free ketchup. Stir until well blended with an even color throughout.
Add the dill pickle relish to the mixture. Mix until the relish is evenly distributed.
Pour in the apple cider vinegar, which provides a tangy note to the sauce, and stir well.
Incorporate the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the spices are evenly mixed into the sauce.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or vinegar to suit personal preferences.
Transfer the sauce to a jar or airtight container, and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors. This step is optional but recommended.
Serve the gluten-free special sauce with your favorite dishes such as burgers, fries, or as a salad dressing.
