My beau's younger brother, Patrick - the newlywed, and I ad libbed this lovely condiment for a casual family dinner at the beach after the wedding. It's great on veggie dogs, with roasted veggies and probably even fish and chicken. To tone down the heat, sub a roasted red pepper for the poblano. For vegan, use only canola oil-based mayo.

Ingredients
1 poblano (also called pasilla) pepper or sweet red pepper
1 1/2 cup mayo (I used half light/low-fat)
2 Tbsp mustard
3 Tbsp Old Bay or Creole Seasoning
3 Tbsp prepared horseradish
3 Tbsp pickle juice or lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
Preparation
On a grill, grill pan, under a broiler or simply on a stovetop burner, char pepper on all sides. Remove with tongs and let cool. To decrease cooling time, carefully cut the pepper lengthwise - there will be hot steaming escaping. When cooled, mince and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients. Add minced pepper and taste - adjust seasonings. If you have time, cover and refrigerate for an hour or two to allow the flavors to marry.
