Ingredients for the Perfect Big Mac Sauce

To achieve that authentic taste, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• French Dressing (2 tablespoons): Adds a sweet, tangy depth and contributes to the sauce’s signature color.
• Sweet Pickle Relish (4 teaspoons): Provides the essential sweetness and a slight crunch.
• White Vinegar (1 teaspoon): Enhances tanginess for a zesty kick.
• Minced Onion (1 tablespoon): A subtle savory addition that melds beautifully into the sauce.
• Granulated Sugar (1 teaspoon): Balances the tanginess with a touch of sweetness.
• Ground Black Pepper (⅛ teaspoon): Adds a hint of spice to round out the flavors.

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Homemade Big Mac Sauce

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Start by measuring and preparing all the ingredients to ensure a smooth mixing process:

• Measure ½ cup of mayonnaise into a medium bowl.
• Add 2 tablespoons of French dressing to the mayonnaise.
• Finely chop 1 tablespoon of onion and set it aside.
• Measure 4 teaspoons of sweet pickle relish for that classic Big Mac flavor.
• Gather 1 teaspoon of white vinegar, 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar, and ⅛ teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 2: Combine Ingredients

Add all the measured ingredients into a medium-sized mixing bowl:

• Start with the mayonnaise and French dressing.
• Stir in the sweet pickle relish and minced onion.
• Add the white vinegar, sugar, and black pepper.

Use a whisk or spoon to mix the ingredients thoroughly until the sauce is smooth and uniform in color. The consistency should be creamy and easy to spread.

Step 3: Adjust Consistency and Flavor

If needed, tweak the sauce to match your desired taste and texture:

• For a thinner sauce, add a small splash of vinegar or water.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix in an extra tablespoon of mayonnaise.
• Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness or tanginess by adding more sugar or vinegar.

Step 4: Refrigerate for Best Results

Transfer the prepared sauce into an airtight container. Let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This step is crucial as it allows the flavors to meld together, creating a more cohesive and vibrant taste.
