I love recreating my favorite sauces at home. After you make this flavor-packed Big Mac sauce, you need to try this copycat Cane’s sauce or Chick-fil-A sauce!
Copycat Big Mac Sauce Recipe
Let’s talk Big Macs. Everybody loves them, and I think part of what makes them so good is their sauce! So since I love making homemade sauces, I recreated it at home. This copycat McDonald’s Big Mac sauce recipe tastes just like the real thing, maybe even better since it uses fresh ingredients without any preservatives! Like my other homemade sauce recipes, this Big Mac sauce is super easy to customize. So if you see an ingredient below that isn’t your favorite, feel free to leave it out or adjust the amount to taste! Once you create your perfect batch, you’ll want to put it on everything. You can also use it as a dipping sauce for fries or onion rings. The options are endless!
Ingredient List
This Big Mac sauce recipe is great because it uses such simple ingredients. I’m sure you have all of the seasonings to make it hanging out in your pantry right now!
Mayonnaise: Creamy and rich, mayo forms the base of the Big Mac sauce, giving it a smooth and velvety texture. Sweet Pickle Relish: For that classic burger flavor! Relish adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the sauce that you’ll love. If you want a different twist, swap sweet pickle relish with dill pickle relish for a tangier flavor. White Vinegar: The tangy kick from vinegar balances the sweetness of the relish. It’s the perfect combo! You can also use white wine vinegar if you have it on hand. Garlic Powder: Boosts the overall savoriness of the Big Mac sauce. Onion Powder: For a pop of extra flavor. Paprika: Paprika adds a gentle smokiness and a hint of mild spiciness to the sauce, giving it a bit of kick. Turmeric: A pinch of turmeric adds a subtle golden hue and a touch of earthiness to the sauce. Granulated Sugar (if needed): If you prefer a sweeter sauce, a little granulated sugar can be added to achieve the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess. Honey also works.

In the Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container or a jar with a lid. Keep in the refrigerator for 5-7 days. I like to stir the sauce before reusing it because the relish can release additional liquid as it is stored.
