This burger sauce is just the “special sauce” your sandwich needs! It’s full of flavor: creamy, tangy and reminiscent of a Big Mac.
Need a little something for your burger? try that magic burger sauce! It’s just what a great sandwich needs: salty, salty, tangy, a little sweet: and utterly irresistible. You know that classic Big Mac sauce (which is actually a Russian dressing?). This is close: but even easier to reach. Here are all our secrets!
Ingredients for this burger sauce
What’s in that burger sauce? We modeled it on our Russian dressing, which is very similar to the special sauce made for Big Macs. The base is made with mayonnaise and ketchup and is sprinkled with chopped shallots and dill pickles. But for this particular burger sauce, we wanted to make it even easier: without messing up a knife or cutting board! Here’s what you need:
- organic ketchup
- mayonnaise
- Mustard (either Yellow or Dijon)
- pickle juice
- Hot sauce
All you do is mix these ingredients together and… that’s it! It’s one step and keeps for months in the fridge. It’s like mixing all your favorite burger condiments into a magical special burger sauce!
Why Marinate Juice?
The cucumber juice brings just the right salty element and nuanced undertone! Instead of using chopped dill pickles as a Russian dressing, a squeeze of pickles will do the trick. If you don’t have a jar of pickles on hand, feel free to skip it. But it just adds the right “something” to this burger sauce.
Another use for pickle juice? It adds the “funk” in our Virgin Margarita.
Look for organic ketchup
We love using organic ketchup in our sauce recipes, and not just because it’s organic: better for you and better for the planet. But organic ketchup is generally more likely to have natural sources of sugar than high fructose corn syrup. It also tends to have better overall flavor!
