Description
This homemade Big Mac Sauce recipe replicates the iconic burger sauce with a creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet blend of mayonnaise, French dressing, relish, and spices. Perfect for burgers, sandwiches, or as a dipping sauce, it comes together easily and requires refrigeration to develop its signature flavor.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons bottled French salad dressing
- 1 ½ tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 1 ½ tablespoons finely minced white onion
- 1 ½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small mixing bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, bottled French salad dressing, sweet pickle relish, finely minced white onion, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. This creates the base of the Big Mac Sauce with its classic flavors.
- Store the Sauce: Transfer the Big Mac sauce to a small lidded container, such as a half-pint mason jar, or cover the mixing bowl tightly with plastic wrap to prevent air exposure and contamination.
- Refrigerate and Marinate: Refrigerate the sauce for at least 2 hours or up to overnight. This chilling period allows the flavors to meld and develop fully. Stir well before serving to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Notes
- For best flavor, allow the sauce to chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
- This recipe yields approximately ¾ cup of sauce, enough for 1 serving as a generous burger topping or condiment.
- Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- You can adjust the sweetness or tang by varying the amounts of sugar and vinegar to taste.
- Use finely minced onion to avoid large crunchy pieces in the sauce.
