The Big Mac Sauce recipe is a creamy, tangy, slightly sweet sauce made primarily from mayonnaise, dill or sweet pickle relish, finely minced onion, yellow mustard, white vinegar, sugar, and seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. Some versions also add ketchup for extra flavor. The ingredients are combined and chilled to blend the flavors. Here is a popular version of the recipe with approximate proportions:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish (or sweet pickle relish)
- 1 tablespoon finely minced onion
- 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
- 2 tablespoons ketchup (optional, but recommended by some for extra flavor)
Instructions: Mix all ingredients in a bowl, stir until combined, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld. The sauce keeps well in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
This sauce works beautifully on burgers, fries, and as a dipping sauce.
