The great thing about this three-in-one recipe is you don't have to choose your favorite, you can have them all. Each of these has a unique flavor from the tangy kick of sour cream and horseradish in the beef salad, the spicy and sweet of the cayenne and pickle relish in the deviled ham, to the mustard and salty capers in the chicken rillette.
