Ingredients
Scale
1 cup Mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Sweet Pickle Relish
1 tablespoon Yellow Mustard
1 teaspoon White Vinegar
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/4 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Measure all ingredients into a medium bowl.
Whisk the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, white vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika together until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform in color.
Taste the sauce. Adjust seasoning if needed, adding a pinch more vinegar for tang or paprika for color.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the Big Mac sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving. This chilling time allows the flavors to fully meld.
Serve this copycat Big Mac sauce generously on your homemade burgers, as a dip for fries, or on sandwiches.
Notes
For the most authentic flavor, use full-fat mayonnaise.
If you do not have sweet pickle relish, you can substitute it with finely chopped dill pickles mixed with a small amount of sugar.
This sauce tastes better after chilling for several hours or overnight.
This recipe yields enough sauce for about 4 to 6 large burgers.
