Ingredients
1 cup mayonnaise (full-fat recommended)
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Optional: pinch of turmeric for color
Instructions
Step 1: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, white vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika. If using, add a tiny pinch of turmeric for color.
Step 2: Whisk all ingredients together thoroughly until completely smooth and well combined. Ensure there are no lumps.
Step 3: Taste the big mac sauce recipe and adjust seasonings as desired. You might want a little more vinegar for tang or a pinch of sugar for sweetness, although the sweet relish usually suffices.
Step 4: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the big mac sauce recipe to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. For best results, chill for 2-3 hours before serving.
Step 5: Serve your homemade big mac sauce recipe with burgers, as a dip for fries, on sandwiches, or any way you enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
For the most authentic taste and texture, do not skip the chilling time – it allows the flavors to fully develop. If you prefer a smoother sauce with fewer relish chunks, you can pulse the relish briefly in a food processor before adding it to the mixture.
