Ingredients

Scale

Big Mac Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Pinch of salt (to taste)


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, add 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, and 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar. These form the creamy and tangy base of the sauce.
  2. Add Spices and Sweetness: Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, and 1 tablespoon sugar. These spices add depth and a touch of sweetness characteristic of the Big Mac Sauce.
  3. Mix Thoroughly: Using a whisk or spoon, mix all the ingredients well until fully combined and smooth, ensuring the spices and relish are evenly distributed.
  4. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and add a pinch of salt according to your preference, stirring again to incorporate.
  5. Chill Before Serving: For best flavor, refrigerate the sauce for at least 15 minutes before use to allow the flavors to meld beautifully. Store in an airtight container if not used immediately.

Notes

  • This sauce should be kept refrigerated and used within one week for optimal freshness.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by reducing or increasing the sugar according to taste.
  • For a tangier profile, substitute white wine vinegar with apple cider vinegar.
  • Perfect not only on burgers but also as a dip for fries or as a sandwich spread.
