Description

This Big Mac Sauce recipe replicates the iconic McDonald’s burger sauce with a creamy, tangy blend of mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, and spices. It’s perfect for adding a flavorful boost to burgers, sandwiches, and fries. Easy to assemble with simple ingredients and no cooking required, the sauce requires just a short refrigeration period to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.


Ingredients

Scale

Big Mac Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika


Instructions

  1. Combine base ingredients: In a small bowl, add the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, and yellow mustard. Stir together until well combined to form a creamy base.
  2. Add seasonings: Mix in the white vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the sauce to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and develop fully before serving.

Notes

  • Use classic yellow mustard and sweet pickle relish for the most authentic Big Mac flavor.
  • The sauce keeps well in the refrigerator for up to one week when stored in an airtight container.
  • Allowing the sauce to chill enhances the depth of flavor, but it can be used immediately in a pinch.
