Big Mac Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients—mayo, sweet pickle relish, ketchup, mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder—until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Chill for best flavor: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight. This resting time allows the flavors to blend harmoniously.
  3. Store properly: Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and keep it refrigerated. The sauce can be stored for up to 1 week. Before using, give it a good stir to recombine any ingredients that may have settled.

Notes

  • For optimal taste, allow the sauce to chill overnight.
  • The granulated sugar is optional, depending on your preferred level of sweetness.
  • This sauce is a great alternative to store-bought burger sauces and can be used as a dip, spread, or dressing.
  • Store the sauce in an airtight container in the fridge and use within one week for freshness.
