Print Recipe

Make a quick, no-cook copycat version of the famous Big Mac special sauce using common pantry ingredients. This tangy, creamy sauce tastes just like the original and is ready in under five minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sweet Pickle Relish
  • 1 tablespoon Yellow Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon White Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • Pinch of Paprika

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients in a medium bowl.
  2. Add the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, white vinegar, sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika to the bowl.
  3. Stir all the ingredients together until they are completely combined and the sauce is uniform in color and texture.
  4. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more relish for texture or vinegar for tang.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
  6. Use the sauce immediately on burgers, fries, or sandwiches.

Notes

  • For a slightly tangier flavor, increase the white vinegar by half a teaspoon.
  • If you do not have sweet pickle relish, finely chop sweet pickles and mix them with a small amount of sugar.
  • This sauce tastes best after chilling for several hours, but it is ready to use after 30 minutes.
  • You can make this sauce ahead of time; it keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
