Make a simple, tangy spread sauce at home that tastes like the signature sauce from popular burger restaurants.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. Measure all ingredients into a medium bowl.
  2. Whisk the ingredients together until the sauce is completely smooth and uniform in color.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to blend.
  4. Taste the sauce after chilling and adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Serve on your burgers or use as a dipping sauce for fries.

Notes

  • For a slightly tangier flavor, substitute 1/2 teaspoon of the sweet pickle relish with finely minced dill pickle.
  • If you want a color closer to some commercial versions, add 1/4 teaspoon of ketchup, though this changes the classic profile slightly.
  • Use a full-fat mayonnaise for the best texture and mouthfeel.
