A quick and easy homemade version of the iconic McDonald’s Big Mac Sauce using just five simple ingredients. Perfect for burgers, fries, and more, this sauce delivers the classic tangy, creamy flavor at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (about 120 ml), preferably full-fat
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish (30 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard (15 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar (5 ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (2.5 ml)

Instructions

  1. Measure out 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
  2. Add all ingredients into a mixing bowl. Using a whisk or fork, blend together until smooth and creamy with relish evenly distributed, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired: add more vinegar for tanginess or a pinch of sugar for sweetness.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer sauce to a sealed container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and sauce thicken.
  5. Serve chilled or store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Stir before serving if separated.

Notes

Use a good quality, full-fat mayonnaise for best texture and flavor. Chill the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and thicken. Use finely chopped dill pickle relish for better texture. Adjust vinegar and sugar to taste. Optional additions include onion powder, smoked paprika, or hot sauce for variations. Store refrigerated up to one week; do not freeze.
