Big Mac Sauce Recipe
This Big Mac Sauce Recipe delivers a creamy, sweet, and tangy flavor made with simple pantry staples.
Ingredients
Creamy Base
- ½ cup high quality mayonnaise full fat for best texture
- 2 tablespoons natural ketchup for depth and color
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
Tangy Sweet Balance
- 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish for crunch and acidity
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Signature Flavor and Color
- 1 tablespoon very finely minced onion
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Add mayonnaise, ketchup, and yellow mustard to a medium bowl. Stir until fully smooth and light orange in color.
- Mix in dill pickle relish, finely minced onion, white vinegar, and sugar. Stir well, scraping the sides of the bowl for even blending.
- Sprinkle in paprika, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir thoroughly until no spice pockets remain.
- Taste and adjust with a few drops of vinegar for more tang or a pinch of sugar for added sweetness. Mix gently after each adjustment.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to blend and the sauce to thicken.
- Stir well before serving. Use on burgers, fries, wraps, salads, or as a dipping sauce.
Notes
For a smoky twist, add a small spoon of BBQ sauce. For gentle heat, stir in a pinch of cayenne pepper. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Freezing is not recommended as mayo-based sauces may separate after thawing.
