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 a Mixing Bowl: Grab a medium bowl with enough space to stir easily without making a mess.
- Add Ingredients: Add the mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, minced onion, ketchup, yellow mustard, white vinegar, granulated sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt into the bowl.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir everything thoroughly until the sauce is creamy and well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is incorporated evenly.

- Refrigerating the sauce allows flavors to meld for a tastier result.
- Store leftover sauce in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- If you prefer a spicier sauce, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper.
- This sauce goes perfectly with burgers, sandwiches, fries, and as a dip.
