Every ingredient is a staple at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, and Kroger—no special trips required. At roughly $0.40 per serving, it's genuinely cheap; yogurt and mayo are the cost anchors, but both are loss-leader items at any Charlotte supermarket. The ten minutes is honest: mincing onion and celery takes maybe three minutes, then you fold everything together, though you might add another minute if you're fussy about getting the relish distributed evenly. This is a set-it-and-forget-it dressing that keeps for a week in the fridge and works equally well as a sandwich spread, a salad coat, or a burger topping, which makes it practical for a busy household.
