Description
A smooth and tangy sauce inspired by the classic copycat Big Mac flavor. This version blends creamy, sweet, and savory elements using clean pantry staples with a bold homemade twist.
Ingredients
One half cup quality mayonnaise
Two tablespoons dill pickle relish
One tablespoon finely minced onion
Two tablespoons natural ketchup
Two teaspoons yellow mustard
One teaspoon distilled white vinegar such as Heinz Distilled White Vinegar or Spectrum Organic Distilled White Vinegar
One teaspoon granulated sugar
One half teaspoon paprika
One quarter teaspoon salt
One quarter teaspoon garlic powder
One quarter teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
Place all ingredients in a bowl and stir until smooth.
Refrigerate the sauce for at least two hours to allow flavors to blend.
Stir or shake before serving to restore a creamy consistency.
Use on burgers, sandwiches, wraps, fries, or as a dipping sauce.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Notes
You can omit the ketchup for a closer match to the original flavor profile.
A dash of barbecue sauce creates a subtle smoky variation if desired.
For a gentle kick, add a small splash of hot sauce such as Texas Pete Original Hot Sauce, Crystal Hot Sauce, or Sriraja Panich Hot Sauce.
If you prefer a sweeter or tangier flavor, adjust relish or vinegar slightly.
The sauce thickens as it chills so stir before serving for the smoothest texture.
