Big Mac Sauce Ingredients

• 1 cup Mayonnaise (full-fat mayonnaise yields the best texture)
• 2 tablespoons Sweet Pickle Relish (or finely chopped sweet pickles)
• 1 tablespoon Yellow Mustard
• 1 tablespoon White Vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (or fresh garlic, reduced quantity)
• 1 teaspoon Onion Powder (or finely minced fresh onion)
• 1 teaspoon Paprika (smoked paprika can be used for a different flavor)
• 1 teaspoon Sugar (optional, omit for lower sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon Salt (adjust to taste)

Instructions

1. Combine Base Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, and yellow mustard. Mix these gently until the mixture is smooth and well blended, forming the creamy base of the sauce.
2. Add Spices: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sugar, and salt to the mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure all spices are evenly distributed, enhancing the flavor profile of the sauce.
3. Incorporate Vinegar: Add the white vinegar to the bowl, then whisk the mixture until it becomes completely smooth and uniform. The vinegar adds acidity to balance the richness of the mayo and the sweetness of the relish.
4. Chill the Sauce: Cover the sauce bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and deepen, resulting in an authentic taste.
5. Serve: After chilling, use your homemade Big Mac Sauce to enhance burgers, sandwiches, or as a flavorful dipping sauce for fries and other snacks.
