Big Mac Sauce Ingredients
- 1/2 cup quality mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish (or use sweet pickle relish and omit the sugar)
- 1 tablespoon finely minced onion
- 2 tablespoons natural ketchup
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Prepare the bowl: Grab a medium bowl with enough space to stir easily without making a mess.
- Add ingredients: Add the mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, finely minced onion, ketchup, yellow mustard, white vinegar, granulated sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to the bowl.
- Mix well: Stir everything thoroughly until the sauce is creamy and well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure nothing’s left unmixed.
- Taste and adjust: Taste the sauce and adjust the salt, relish amount, or add a dash of hot sauce if desired to customize the flavor.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld together. Overnight chilling is ideal for best taste.
- Serve and store: Use the sauce straight from the fridge. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Using sweet pickle relish allows you to omit the added sugar for a sweeter sauce.
- The sauce tastes best after chilling overnight, but a minimum of 2 hours will suffice.
- Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks for freshness.
- Add a dash of hot sauce if you prefer a spicier version.
- This sauce is perfect not only on burgers but also as a dip or sandwich spread.
