For the Sauce

  • 0.25 teaspoon Garlic Powder Adjust the amount if using fresh garlic.
  • 0.25 teaspoon Onion Powder Finely minced fresh onion can work in a pinch.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Sugar Adjust based on your sweetness preference.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Homemade Big Mac Sauce
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, blend together 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of sweet pickle relish, 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard, and 1 teaspoon of white vinegar. Add 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder. Include 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and a pinch of salt.
  2. Using a whisk, vigorously mix all the ingredients together until the sauce is smooth and well-combined. This should take about 1-2 minutes of consistent whisking.
  3. Carefully pour the sauce into an airtight container or a jar, scraping down the sides of the mixing bowl.
  4. Place the container in the refrigerator and let the sauce chill for at least 30 minutes.
  5. After chilling, your Homemade Big Mac Sauce is ready to elevate burgers, sandwiches, or serve as a creamy dip for fries.

Notes

Allow the sauce to chill for several hours or overnight for the best flavor. Always use a clean spoon to scoop from the container to keep it fresh. Avoid freezing your sauce, as mayonnaise may separate when thawed.
